Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb sirloin steak cut into strips
  • Orange bell pepper sliced
  • Yellow bell pepper sliced
  • Green bell pepper sliced
  • 1 medium white onion sliced
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp taco seasoning
  • 6 flour or corn tortillas
  • 1 cup Tex Mex shredded cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup homemade salsa
  • 1 ripe avocado sliced
  • 1 jalapeno sliced (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Lime wedges

Instructions
 

  • Slice the steak, bell peppers, and onion into thin strips. Toss the steak in taco seasoning to coat.
  • Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil, and sear the steak for about 5 minutes, until just browned.
  • Add the bell peppers and onion to the skillet. Cook until the onion is translucent and peppers are tender.
  • Remove the skillet from heat, top with jalapeños, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
  • Warm tortillas over the campfire, if desired.
  • Serve warm straight out of the skillet. Load up a warm flour tortilla with steak, veggies, and your favorite toppings, like pico de gallo, cheese, guacamole, or sour cream.
