Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Flank steak
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 large Green bell pepper
- 1 large Yellow bell pepper
- 1 large Red onion
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 2 tsp Chili powder
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 medium Lime
- 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro
- 8 small Tortillas
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the flank steak and slice it into thin strips, cutting against the grain for tenderness.
Core and slice the red, green, and yellow bell peppers into thin strips. Peel and slice the red onion into thin wedges.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the fajita seasoning.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak strips and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion, and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
Return the cooked steak to the skillet and sprinkle the fajita seasoning evenly over the steak and veggies. Stir well to coat everything in the seasoning.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.
Squeeze the juice of the lime over the skillet and sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately with warm tortillas on the side. You can also add your favorite toppings like sour cream, guacamole, or shredded cheese if desired.
