Equipment
- Large Skillet
Ingredients
- 1 lb Beef (Flank Steak or Skirt Steak)
- 3 Bell Peppers 1 each of red, yellow, and green
- 1 large Onion thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 2 cloves Garlic minced
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1 tsp Chili Powder
- 1 lime Lime Juice
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 8 small Tortillas flour or corn tortillas
Instructions
- Slice the beef against the grain into thin strips. In a bowl, combine lime juice, garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Add the beef strips and toss to coat. Let marinate for 20-30 minutes.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and onions and sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender and slightly charred. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Add the marinated beef strips and cook for 4-5 minutes until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Do not overcook to keep the beef juicy and tender.
- Add the cooked bell peppers and onions back to the skillet and toss everything together to meld the flavors. Warm tortillas in a dry pan for a few seconds, then assemble with the beef and veggies. Top with desired garnishes like sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or cheese.
