Ingredients
1 lb flank steak
1 red bell pepper

1 green bell pepper
1 large onion
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp lime juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
8 flour or corn tortillas
Instructions
1. In a bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.
2. Add the flank steak and marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours in the fridge.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a bit of oil and cook sliced bell peppers and onion until softened and slightly charred. Remove from pan.
4. In the same skillet, sear the steak on each side for about 3–4 minutes until desired doneness.
5. Let the steak rest, then slice it thinly against the grain.
6. Return veggies to the pan, add steak slices, and stir to combine.
7. Warm tortillas and serve with toppings like guacamole, sour cream, or shredded cheese.
Notes
Steak is best sliced against the grain for tenderness.
You can swap flank steak with skirt steak or chicken.
To spice it up, add jalapeño or hot sauce to the marinade.
