Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 pound steak, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
  • Optional: Sour cream, salsa, or guacamole for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook until browned. Remove steak from skillet and set aside.
  2. Add onion and bell pepper to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Return steak to the skillet. Stir in chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute more.
