Ingredients
- 2 lbs flank steak sliced into ½-inch thick strips (slice extra-wide strips in half)
- 2 bell peppers red and yellow, cored and sliced into strips
- 1 medium yellow onion halved and sliced from top to root
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Juice of 2 fresh limes
- 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 12-15 small flour tortillas
For the Seasoning:
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
Optional Toppings:
- Sour cream
- Pico de gallo
- Shredded cheese
- Guacamole
- Salsa
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Spray a large sheet pan with non-stick cooking spray or line it with foil for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, combine the seasonings, steak, peppers and onions and olive oil. Toss until everything is coated in the oil and the seasoning mixture.
- Spread the steak and vegetables into an even layer on the prepared sheet pan, keeping the steak from overlapping as much as possible.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the steak is cooked to your desired doneness and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Wrap the tortillas tightly in foil and place them in the oven during the last 5 minutes of cooking to warm.
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Drizzle the lime juice over the steak and vegetables and sprinkle with the chopped cilantro.
- Serve in the warm tortillas with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
Notes
Slice the flank steak against the grain for the most tender bites.
Skirt steak is a great substitute for flank steak.
For the best texture, avoid overcooking the steak. It cooks quickly and will continue to cook slightly after it's removed from the oven.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave before serving.
