Ingredients

• 1 lb Flank steak
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 3 tbsp Lime juice
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tsp Ground cumin
• 2 tsp Smoked paprika
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 1 medium Red onion, sliced
• 3 large Bell peppers (assorted colors), sliced
• 8 small Flour tortillas
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 1 cup Shredded cheese
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0.5 cup Salsa

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, prepare the marinade by whisking together olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for more flavor.

Step 3

While the steak marinates, prepare the vegetables by slicing the red onion and bell peppers into thin strips.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the steak on the grill and cook for 4-6 minutes per side, or until your desired level of doneness is reached. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy (recommended internal temperature: 135°F for medium-rare or 145°F for medium).

Step 6

While the steak cooks, grill the sliced onions and bell peppers in a grill-safe basket or directly on the grill grates until slightly charred and soft, approximately 5-7 minutes, tossing occasionally.

Step 7

Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices. Slice the steak thinly against the grain into strips.

Step 8

Warm the flour tortillas on the grill for 30 seconds per side, or until soft and pliable.

Step 9

Assemble the fajitas by layering sliced steak and grilled vegetables onto a warm tortilla. Garnish with sour cream, shredded cheese, fresh cilantro, and salsa, or your favorite toppings.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy!
