- Prepare the Steak: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced steak and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned and cooked to your liking. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Vegetables: Add the remaining vegetable oil to the skillet, along with bell peppers and onions. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and slightly charred.
- Season: Add minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Combine: Return the cooked steak to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until heated through.
- Serve: Warm tortillas in the microwave or skillet. Fill with steak and vegetable mixture. Top with desired toppings.
4. Tips for Perfection

- Marinate for Flavor: Marinate the steak for a few hours or overnight for extra flavor.
- Don’t Overcook: Be careful not to overcook the steak to ensure it remains juicy and tender.
