Instructions

1
In a bowl, combine lime juice, garlic, cumin, chili powder, 1 tbsp oil, salt, and pepper. Add sliced steak, toss to coat, and marinate for 15-30 minutes.
2
Heat a large cast iron skillet over high heat. Add the marinated steak in a single layer (work in batches if needed) and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until charred. Remove to a plate.
3
Add remaining oil to the skillet. Sauté bell peppers and onions for 6-8 minutes until charred and tender-crisp.
4
Return the steak and any juices to the skillet with the vegetables. Toss everything together and cook for 1 minute to reheat.
5
Serve immediately from the skillet with warm tortillas and desired toppings.
