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.

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!
