Method

  1. 01
    In a bowl, combine lime juice, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form the marinade.
  2. 02
    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. 03
    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. 04
    Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently.
  5. 05
    Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside. Add the marinated steak to the same skillet in a single layer.
  6. 06
    Cook the steak for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
  7. 07
    Return the cooked peppers and onions to the skillet with the steak. Toss everything together and heat through.
  8. 08
    Serve the sizzling fajitas with warmed flour tortillas and your choice of toppings like sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.
