Ingredients

• 1 lb Flank steak
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 tsp Chili powder
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 medium (sliced) Red bell pepper
• 1 medium (sliced) Green bell pepper
• 1 medium (sliced) Yellow onion
• 8 small Gluten-free corn tortillas
• 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
• 1 whole Avocado (sliced, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Place the flank steak on a cutting board. Trim any excess fat and slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Add the steak strips to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Cover and let the steak marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 4

Heat a large cast-iron skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and allow it to heat up.

Step 5

Add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and slightly charred. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set them aside.

Step 6

Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add another tablespoon of olive oil, then add the marinated steak strips in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the steak is browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness.

Step 7

Once the steak is cooked, return the sautéed vegetables to the skillet. Stir to combine and heat through for 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Warm the gluten-free corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.

Step 9

Assemble the fajitas by filling each tortilla with the steak and vegetable mixture. Top with fresh cilantro and sliced avocado, if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your dairy-free steak fajitas!
