Method

Preparation of Marinade

  1. 1

    Combine Marinade Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Beef

    Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.

Cooking the Vegetables

  1. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the beef is marinating, slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet or frying pan, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they are tender and slightly charred. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Cooking the Beef

  1. 5

    Cook the Beef

    In the same skillet, add the marinated flank steak. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  2. 6

    Slice the Beef

    After resting, slice the beef thinly against the grain.

Assembly and Serving

  1. 7

    Warm the Tortillas

    While the beef is resting, warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side.

  2. 8

    Assemble the Fajitas

    On each tortilla, layer sliced beef, sautéed bell peppers, and onions. Top with sour cream, guacamole, shredded cheese, and chopped cilantro.

  3. 9

    Serve

    Serve the fajitas warm, allowing everyone to customize their own with toppings.
