2. Heat skillet over medium-high heat and sauté peppers and onions for 6–8 minutes until tender and slightly charred. Remove and set aside.
3. Pat steak dry and sear over high heat for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare.
4. Rest steak 5–10 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
5. Warm tortillas and assemble with steak, vegetables, and desired toppings.
6. Serve immediately with lime wedges.
Notes
Marinate overnight for deeper flavor.
Always slice steak against the grain for tenderness.
Heat tortillas before serving to keep them soft and pliable.
