Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound flank steak Trim any excess fat before cooking.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil For searing the steak.
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder For seasoning the steak.
  • 1 teaspoon cumin For seasoning the steak.
  • 1 bell pepper sliced Any color bell pepper can be used.
  • 1 onion sliced For sautéing with the peppers.
  • 4 pieces flour tortillas For wrapping the ingredients.
  • to taste Salt and pepper For seasoning.
  • as needed Lime wedges For serving.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Trim any excess fat from the flank steak. Season both sides liberally with salt, pepper, chili powder, and cumin.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned steak. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest for at least 5 minutes.
  3. In the same skillet, add the sliced bell pepper and onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until they are tender and slightly charred.
  4. After the steak has rested, slice it thinly against the grain. This will keep it tender and juicy.
  5. You can warm the flour tortillas in a microwave for a few seconds or on a dry skillet for a minute or two on each side.
  6. Serve the sliced steak, sautéed vegetables, and lime wedges on a platter, allowing everyone to assemble their own fajitas.

Notes

If flank steak isn't available, try skirt steak or chicken breast for a different yet equally delicious option. Let the steak rest properly after cooking to keep it juicy. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
