Start by preparing the marinade: In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 3 tablespoons of lime juice, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper.
Put the 1-pound flank steak in a ziplock bag and pour the marinade over the meat. Seal the bag, making sure to remove as much air as possible. Massage the marinade into the steak through the bag and leave it to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for a more intense flavor.
Once marinated, remove the steak from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the skillet is hot, add the marinated flank steak and sear for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare. Adjust the cooking time according to your preferred doneness.
Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board, loosely covered with aluminum foil for 5 minutes.
In the same skillet, add the sliced red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and yellow onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
Thinly slice the rested steak against the grain into strips.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until pliable.
To assemble the tacos, place a few slices of beef on each tortilla, top with the sautéed vegetables, and add a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade beef fajitas tacos.
