Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 pound flank steak thinly sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large red bell pepper sliced
1 large green bell pepper sliced
1 large onion sliced
2 cloves garlic minced
8 pieces flour tortillas warmed

Fajita Marinade

2 tablespoons lime juice freshly squeezed
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground

Instructions

1 In a bowl, combine lime juice, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form the marinade.
2 Place the sliced flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Seal or cover, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
3 Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers, cooking until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
4 Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently.
5 Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside. Add the marinated steak to the same skillet in a single layer.
6 Cook the steak for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
7 Return the cooked peppers and onions to the skillet with the steak. Toss everything together and heat through.
8 Serve the sizzling fajitas with warmed flour tortillas and your choice of toppings like sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.
