Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 pound flank steak
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 bell pepper sliced
  • 1 onion sliced
  • 4 flour or corn tortillas
  • Optional toppings: salsa guacamole, sour cream, cilantro

Equipment

  • Large skillet or frying pan
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Measuring spoons
  • Serving platter

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the fridge for deeper flavor.
  3. Preheat your skillet over medium-high heat until it’s hot.
  4. Remove the steak from the marinade and place it in the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side.
  5. Transfer the cooked steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  6. In the same skillet, add the sliced bell pepper and onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they are tender and slightly charred.
  7. Using a sharp knife, slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.
  8. Warm the tortillas in the skillet for a few seconds on each side. Fill each tortilla with steak, sautéed vegetables, and your favorite toppings.
