👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Marinate the Beef:

   • In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, garlic, and all the spices.

   • Add beef strips, toss to coat well, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to overnight for deeper flavor).

2. Cook the Beef:

   • Heat a large skillet or grill pan over high heat.

   • Add marinated beef in a single layer. Cook for 3–5 minutes until browned (don’t overcrowd the pan). Remove beef and set aside.

3. Cook the Vegetables:

   • In the same skillet, add 1–2 tbsp olive oil.

   • Toss in sliced peppers and onion, cook for 3–4 minutes until slightly charred but still crisp.

4. Combine:

   • Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the veggies.

   • Toss everything together for about 1–2 minutes so flavors blend.

5. Serve:

   • Serve hot with warm tortillas.

   • Add toppings like salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or shredded cheese.
