Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb flank or skirt steak, sliced thin against the grain
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil, divided
  • 3 bell peppers (mixed colors), sliced into strips
  • 1 large onion, halved and thinly sliced
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp salt, plus more to taste
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • For serving: warm flour or corn tortillas, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, fresh cilantro

Method
 

  1. Toss steak with 1 tbsp oil, spices, salt, pepper, and lime juice. Let sit while prepping vegetables.
  2. Heat a large skillet over high heat and add the remaining oil. Sear peppers and onion with a pinch of salt until charred, about 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  3. Add marinated steak to the hot skillet in a single layer. Cook undisturbed about 2 minutes, then toss and cook another 1 to 2 minutes until browned.
  4. Return the vegetables to the skillet, toss to combine, and serve right away with warm tortillas and toppings.

Notes

Nutrition is for the steak and vegetable filling only, not including tortillas or toppings. For deeper flavor, you can marinate the steak in the fridge for up to 2 hours instead of the quick 10-minute rest.
