Steak Fajita Tacos
Sizzling steak, caramelized peppers and onions, and warm spices come together in soft tortillas for colorful, flavorful fajita tacos finished with fresh cilantro and lime.
Instructions
-
In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
-
Add the sliced steak and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
-
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak in a single layer and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness.
-
Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice into bite-sized strips if needed.
-
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Add the sliced peppers and red onion, season with salt and black pepper, and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly charred.
-
Return the steak to the skillet and toss with the peppers and onions. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes to combine the flavors.
-
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a gas flame until soft and lightly charred.
-
Assemble the tacos with the steak fajita mixture and your favorite toppings. Finish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime.
Simple tip.
For extra flavor, let the steak marinate for several hours. A very hot skillet also helps create the caramelized sear that gives fajitas their signature flavor.
Make it your own.
Add avocado, pico de gallo, shredded cheese, Greek yogurt, or jalapeño. You can also use only one or two colors of bell pepper if that is what you have on hand.
