Ingredients
- 1 lb Flank steak
- 3 tbsp Lime juice
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 Red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 Green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 Yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 Red onion, sliced
- 6 Tortillas (flour or corn)
- 1 Mango, diced
- 0.25 Red onion, finely diced

- 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tbsp Lime juice
- 0.25 tsp Salt
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine 3 tablespoons lime juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, and black pepper.
Place the flank steak in the marinade, turning to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.
While the steak is marinating, prepare the mango salsa. In a bowl, combine the diced mango, finely diced red onion, minced jalapeño, chopped cilantro, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mix well and set aside.
Once ready to cook, preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess drip off.
Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if desired. Remove from the heat and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
In the same skillet or on a grill, add the sliced bell peppers and red onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and slightly charred, about 5 minutes.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a flame until pliable.
To assemble, layer the sliced steak and cooked peppers and onions onto each tortilla. Top with a generous spoonful of mango salsa.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Steak Fajitas with Mango Salsa!
