Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds flank steak (thinly sliced against the grain)
  • 3 large bell peppers (sliced (multiple colors preferred))
  • 8 ounces mushrooms (sliced)
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 10 small flour tortillas (for serving)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/4 cup lime juice (about 2 limes)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 medium red onion (sliced)
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, stir together 2 teaspoons ground cumin, 2 teaspoons chili powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes. Set aside. 2. Thinly slice 1 1/2 pounds flank steak against the grain. Slice 3 medium multi-color bell peppers, 1 medium red onion, and 8 ounces of mushrooms. Mince 2 cloves of garlic. 3. Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add in 2 tablespoons olive oil, let heat for a minute, and then add in your sliced bell peppers, onion, and mushrooms. Cook until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 7 minutes, stirring frequently. 4. During the last two minutes of cooking add in half of your seasoning mix and 2 cloves minced garlic Cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the pan and set aside on a plate or in a bowl. 5. Return the skillet to high heat. Add the thinly sliced flank steak to the hot skillet. Sprinkle the remaining fajita seasoning and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce over the steak. Cook, tossing constantly, for 2 to 3 minutes for medium-rare doneness (cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes if you prefer well-done steak). 6. When the steak is cooked, add the cooked vegetables back to the skillet. Drizzle with 1/4 cup lime juice and toss everything together to combine. 7. Serve the steak fajitas on warm flour tortillas. Add optional toppings like sour cream, cilantro, guacamole, or salsa.
