Ingredients
- 2 pounds flank steak thinly sliced
- ½ cup olive oil
- Juice from 1 lime
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 1 tablespoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 green bell peppers sliced into strips

Optional Toppings

Instructions
- Add the sliced flank steak to a large zip-top bag and set aside.
- In a small bowl or mason jar with a lid, combine the olive oil, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Shake or whisk to blend.
- Pour ¾ of the marinade over the steak. Seal the bag, remove the air, and massage to evenly coat. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 400℉.
- On a large baking sheet, arrange the onion, bell peppers, and marinated steak. Drizzle the reserved marinade over the veggies. Use tongs to toss everything together.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until the peppers are softened. For more tender steak, consider removing it after 10 to 12 minutes.
- Serve hot with warmed tortillas and your favorite toppings like guacamole, sour cream, queso fresco, pico de gallo, jalapenos, or fresh cilantro.
