Ingredients
- 1 pound Grass-fed beef flank steak
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 whole Lime
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt

- 1 Red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 Yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 Onion, sliced
- 8 leaves Large lettuce leaves (for wrapping)
- 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped

Instructions
Slice the beef flank steak thinly against the grain and place it in a large bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, juice of two limes, minced garlic, cumin powder, paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the marinade over the sliced beef, mix well, and marinate for at least 20 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the marinated beef strips to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced red and yellow bell peppers and onion. Cook for 5 minutes or until they are softened and slightly charred.
Return the beef to the skillet, stirring to combine with the vegetables. Cook for another 2 minutes until everything is heated through.
To serve, take a large lettuce leaf as a wrap, add a few spoonfuls of the beef and veggie mix.
Top with freshly chopped cilantro and avocado slices.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Paleo Beef Fajitas Tacos!
