Instructions
Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss steak strips in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for best flavor).
Step 2: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over high heat. Cook marinated steak strips for 2–3 minutes per side until seared and cooked to your liking. Remove and set aside.
Step 3: In the same pan, add bell peppers and onion. Sauté for 5–6 minutes until softened and slightly charred.
Step 4: Return steak to the pan and toss with the vegetables until everything is well combined and heated through.
Step 5: Serve immediately with warm tortillas and your favorite toppings.
