Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow onion, sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 8 small flour tortillas
- 1 cup sour cream
- Juice and zest of 1 lime
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- Salsa, guacamole, and lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced flank steak and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until browned. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Sauté the sliced red, green bell peppers, and yellow onion until they are tender-crisp, about 5-6 minutes. Season with chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Return the cooked steak to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir to combine and heat through, about 2-3 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, lime juice, and lime zest until well combined.
- Follow the package instructions to warm the flour tortillas.
- Spoon the steak and vegetable mixture onto the warmed tortillas. Top with a dollop of lime sour cream and sprinkle with fresh cilantro if desired.
- Enjoy with salsa, guacamole, and lime wedges on the side.
