Ingredients

• 1 pound Flank steak
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 3 cups Bell peppers, sliced (red, yellow, green)
• 1 large Onion, sliced
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 large Avocado, diced
• 2 medium Tomatoes, diced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 small Jalapeño, minced (optional)
• 8 pieces Tortillas (flour or corn)
• 4 pieces Lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice, ground cumin, chili powder, and minced garlic to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the flank steak in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it. Ensure the steak is fully coated, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 8 hours for best results).

Step 3

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 4

Remove the steak from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels. Discard the leftover marinade.

Step 5

Grill the steak for 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if desired. Remove from the grill and allow it to rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.

Step 6

While the steak rests, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and sauté the sliced bell peppers and onions with a pinch of salt and pepper until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 7

To make the avocado pico de gallo, combine the diced avocado, tomatoes, fresh cilantro, and minced jalapeño (if using) in a medium bowl. Add a squeeze of lime juice and a pinch of salt, then gently stir until combined.

Step 8

Warm the tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet for 30 seconds on each side.

Step 9

To assemble the fajitas, layer slices of grilled steak, sautéed vegetables, and a generous spoonful of avocado pico de gallo onto each tortilla.

Step 10

Serve with lime wedges on the side and enjoy!
