Ingredients
  

1 ½ lbs flank steak (or skirt steak)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

Salt and pepper to taste

2 bell peppers (red and green), sliced

1 medium onion, sliced

Juice of 2 limes

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

8 small flour or corn tortillas

Optional toppings: sour cream, guacamole, salsa

Instructions
 

Marinate the Steak: In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, ground cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper to create a marinade. Add the flank steak, ensuring it is evenly coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for enhanced flavor).

    Cook the Steak: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Once cooked, let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.

      Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes. Squeeze half of the lime juice over the veggies and stir well.

        Assemble the Fajitas: Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. To assemble, place some sliced steak and sautéed vegetables in the center of each tortilla. Drizzle with the remaining lime juice and garnish with fresh cilantro.

          Serve: Serve the fajitas hot with your choice of optional toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, and salsa. Enjoy your delicious, sizzling steak fajitas!
