Ingredients
  

For The Marinade:

  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped

For The Beef Fajitas:

  • 1 pound skirt steak sliced into thin strips
  • 1 large onion thinly sliced
  • 1 large red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 large green bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 large yellow bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 8 flour tortillas warmed

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare The Marinade

  • In a medium-sized bowl, combine the lime juice, soy sauce, vegetable oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, and chopped cilantro. Whisk together until well combined.

Step 2: Marinate The Steak

  • Place the sliced skirt steak in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Make sure the meat is thoroughly coated by pouring the marinade over it.
  • Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 3: Cook The Steak

  • Over medium-high heat, preheat a large skillet or grill pan. Once hot, add the marinated steak strips in a single layer.
  • Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the steak reaches your desired level of doneness. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4: Sauté The Vegetables

  • If necessary, add a little extra oil to the same skillet. Add the sliced onion and bell peppers. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.

Step 5: Combine And Serve

  • Place the cooked steak and the sautéed vegetables back in the skillet. Toss everything together to combine and heat through for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  • Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Serve the beef fajitas immediately with sour cream, guacamole, salsa, shredded cheese, and lime wedges on the side.
