🧄 1 teaspoon garlic powder
🧅 1 teaspoon onion powder
🌿 1 teaspoon dried oregano
🧂 Salt and pepper to taste
🫒 2 tablespoons olive oil
🌮 Fresh tortillas

Instructions

1- Prep the Ingredients:

Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain.
Slice bell peppers and onion.

2- Seasoning:

In a small bowl, mix the adobo seasoning, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.

3- Marinate the Steak:

In a large bowl, toss the sliced steak with half of the spice mix and the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce.
Make sure the steak is evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 10-15 minutes.

4- Cook the Steak:

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the marinated steak to the skillet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
Sear the steak for about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.

5- Cook the Vegetables:

In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil, then add the sliced onions and bell peppers.
Sprinkle the remainder of the spice mix over the vegetables and sauté for about 5-6 minutes, until the peppers are tender-crisp.

6- Combine Ingredients:

Return the cooked steak to the skillet with the vegetables and toss everything together.
Cook for another 2 minutes to combine flavors.

7- Serve:

Serve the steak and pepper mixture on fresh tortillas and top with fresh pico de gallo. Enjoy!
