Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs flank steak or skirt steak, trimmed
- 3 tbsp olive oil divided
- 1 tbsp lime juice freshly squeezed
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper freshly ground
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 1 large red bell pepper sliced
- 1 large green bell pepper sliced
- 1 large yellow onion sliced
- 8 flour tortillas small, warmed
- cilantro for garnish
- sour cream optional for serving
- salsa optional for serving
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a large bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lime juice, garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Add the flank steak and coat well. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the steak and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until desired doneness. Remove from skillet and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Serve the sliced steak with the sautéed peppers and onions in warm tortillas. Garnish with cilantro and serve with sour cream and salsa, if desired.
Notes
This recipe works well with both beef and chicken. If you prefer chicken, simply substitute the steak with boneless, skinless chicken breasts, and follow the same marinade and cooking steps.
