Method
Prepare the Steak
- 1
Season and Grill the Steak
Season the flank steak with salt and black pepper on both sides. Preheat a grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the steak for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Prepare the Vegetables

Sauté the Vegetables
While the steak is resting, slice the bell peppers, onion, and jalapeño (if using). Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced vegetables and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.

Combine Ingredients
Slice the rested steak thinly against the grain. In a large tortilla, layer 1/2 cup of shredded cheese, a portion of sliced steak, and a portion of sautéed vegetables. Top with another 1/2 cup of cheese, and then place another tortilla on top.
