Ingredients
- 1 pound Flank steak
- 0.25 cup Tequila
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 Red bell pepper, thinly sliced

- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions
Place the flank steak on a clean cutting board and slice it into thin strips against the grain for maximum tenderness.
In a large bowl, combine tequila, lime juice, soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together to create the marinade.
Add the sliced steak to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours for best flavor.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat.
Once the pan is hot, add the marinated beef strips in a single layer. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced red and green bell peppers and onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Toss to combine and heat through for 1-2 minutes.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable.
Serve the beef and vegetable mixture on warm tortillas. Garnish with fresh cilantro and your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or shredded cheese.
Enjoy your Fajitas De Res Al Tequila with family and friends!
