In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the beef skirt steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Remove the steak from the marinade, let any excess drip off, and place it on the heated grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your preferred doneness.
While the steak is grilling, toss the sliced bell peppers and onion with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.
Grill the vegetables on the grill grates or in a grill basket for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly charred.
Once the steak is cooked to your desired doneness, remove it from the grill and let it rest for at least 5 minutes. Slice the steak thinly against the grain.
Warm the tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds per side, or wrap them in a clean kitchen towel and microwave for 30 seconds.
Assemble the fajitas by layering the sliced steak and grilled vegetables onto warm tortillas. Top with fresh cilantro, sour cream, guacamole, and shredded cheese, if desired.
Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
