Equipment

  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 sheet pan
  • 1 aluminum foil optional for easier cleanup
  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 sharp knife

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds flank steak
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 bell peppers (1 red, 1 green), sliced
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 8 small flour or corn tortillas
  • Fresh cilantro (for garnish)
  • Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
  • Add the flank steak to the bowl and coat it evenly with the marinade. Allow it to marinate for at least 10 minutes (or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator).
  • While the steak is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips.
  • Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil for easy cleanup (optional). Spread the sliced bell peppers and onion evenly across the pan.
  • Remove the steak from the marinade and place it on top of the vegetables on the sheet pan.
  • Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the steak reaches your desired level of doneness (135°F for medium-rare).
  • Once cooked, remove the pan from the oven. Allow the steak to rest for about 5 minutes before slicing it against the grain into thin strips.
  • Toss the cooked vegetables gently with the steak juices on the pan and serve everything on warm tortillas.
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges for added flavor.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños along with the bell peppers and onions.
