Trim any excess fat from the flank steak and slice the steak into thin strips against the grain.
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
Add the steak strips to the bowl, ensuring they are fully coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
While the steak is marinating, slice the bell peppers and onion.
Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the skillet and sauté for about 5-7 minutes or until they are tender and slightly charred. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Remove the steak strips from the marinade and discard the marinade.
In the same skillet, cook the steak strips over medium-high heat for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until thoroughly cooked and browned on the outside.
Return the sautéed peppers and onions to the skillet and toss everything together with the steak strips. Cook for another 2 minutes until everything is heated through.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or in the microwave just before serving.
To serve, place a portion of the beef and pepper mixture onto each tortilla.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and slices of avocado. Serve immediately and enjoy.
