Ingredients (Serves 4):
- 1 lb. flank steak, sliced into thin strips
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and sliced
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 tbsp. chili powder
- 1 tsp. cumin
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper
- Juice of 1 lime
- 8-10 flour tortillas
- Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, salsa
Cooking Tips:
- Marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
- Use a cast-iron skillet or grill pan to get a nice sear on the steak and vegetables.
- Warm the tortillas in the oven or on a skillet before serving to make them soft and pliable.
Cooking Process:
1. In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Add the sliced steak and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated steak and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
3. In the same pan, add the sliced bell peppers, onion, and jalapeno pepper. Cook for 5-6 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
4. To assemble the fajitas, place a few slices of steak and vegetables on a warm tortilla. Top with shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa, if desired.
