Mexican · Main course · 25 min total

Sizzling strips of marinated beef with colorful bell peppers and onions, served in warm tortillas. This quick and easy recipe brings the flavors of a Mexican steakhouse to your home kitchen.

Ingredients

• 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 2 bell peppers (red and green), sliced
• 8 small flour tortillas
• For the marinade:
• 3 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. In a bowl, whisk together lime juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Add sliced beef and toss to coat. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add beef in a single layer (work in batches if needed) and cook without stirring for 2 minutes until seared. Stir and cook for another 1-2 minutes until browned but still tender. Transfer to a plate.
3. Reduce heat to medium-high and add remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add onion and bell peppers; cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes until softened and charred in spots.
4. Return beef to the skillet and toss with vegetables for 1 minute to combine and heat through.
5. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Serve beef and vegetable mixture in tortillas with desired toppings.

Tips

• For best results, slice the steak very thinly across the grain.
• Serve with sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and shredded cheese.
• Leftover filling can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
