Ingredients

  • 1 lb chuck steak, sliced into thin strips
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced (any color)
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 8 small flour or corn tortillas
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the sliced chuck steak and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Cook the Vegetables: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a little olive oil. Sauté the sliced onion and bell pepper until they are tender and slightly charred, about 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Sear the Steak: In the same skillet, add the marinated chuck steak in a single layer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the steak is browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
  4. Combine: Return the sautéed vegetables to the skillet with the steak and stir to combine. Cook for an additional minute to heat through.
  5. Serve: Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Fill each tortilla with the steak and vegetable mixture. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
