Ingredients
Marinade:
- ½ tablespoon cumin ground
- ½ tablespoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- Pinch cayenne pepper
- 4 tablespoons olive oil divided
For the tacos:
- 1 pound skirt steak sliced into ½ inch (1cm) pieces
- 1 red bell pepper seeded and sliced
- 1 green bell pepper seeded and sliced
- 1 red onion sliced
- 8 flour tortilla warmed, or corn tortilla
- sour cream
- ¼ cup cilantro chopped
- 1 lime sliced
Instructions
Marinate:
- In a small bowl, combine cumin, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
- Pour half the marinade into a large zip-top bag or airtight container. Add the steak, seal, and toss to combine. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Pour the remaining marinade into another zip-top bag or airtight container. Add peppers and onion, seal, and toss to combine. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Cook steak and veggies:
- In a large cast iron skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add the steak and cook, for 6 to 9 minutes, flipping all pieces to cook evenly. Transfer the steak to a plate and cover with another plate to keep warm.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet and cook the peppers and onion, stirring frequently for about 7 minutes, until fork tender. Return the steak to the pan and stir-fry for 2 minutes to heat through.
Assemble the tacos:
- Spoon some of the steak and veggie mixture onto each tortilla. Top with sour cream and cilantro and serve with a lime wedge.
