Instructions
1. Flavorful Marinade
A good marinade makes all the difference. In a bowl, mix together:
- Lime juice
- Soy sauce
- Olive oil
- Minced garlic
- Chili powder
- Ground cumin
- Paprika
- Dried oregano
- Salt and pepper
Place the steak in a resealable bag, pour in the marinade, seal tightly, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to soak in.
2. Cooking the Steak & Veggies
Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated steak and cook until nicely browned and cooked to your preference. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining oil to the same skillet. Sauté the sliced onion and bell peppers until soft and lightly caramelized. Return the steak to the pan, toss everything together, and cook for about 1 more minute.
3. Assemble & Serve
Warm the flour tortillas until pliable. Fill them with the steak, onions, and peppers. Finish with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.
Roll them up and enjoy your Spicy Steak Fajitas! Serve alongside Mexican rice and refried beans for a hearty, satisfying meal.
