Ingredients
1 pound flank steak, sliced against the grain into thin strips
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 large red or yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
8 flour tortillas, warmed
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400F degrees and spray a large baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, toss the steak strips with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
In a small bowl, whisk together the salt, black pepper, cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder.
Place the sliced peppers and onions on the baking sheet and drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
Sprinkle half of the seasoning mixture over the vegetables and toss to coat.
Arrange the steak strips on the tray with the vegetables, then sprinkle the remaining seasoning over the beef.
Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the vegetables are crisp-tender and the beef is cooked to your preference.
Remove from the oven, drizzle with fresh lime juice, and serve immediately in warmed flour tortillas.
Notes
Ensure you slice the steak against the grain to guarantee maximum tenderness. For extra char, broil the tray for 1-2 minutes during the last stage of cooking. Serve with optional toppings like cilantro, avocado, or Greek yogurt.
