Detailed Directions and Instructions
Prepare the Ingredients
Gather all the necessary ingredients. This includes steak, taco seasoning, bell peppers, onions, cheese, tortillas, and any desired toppings.
Cook the Steak
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the steak until it is browned and cooked through. Break up the steak into small pieces as it cooks for uniformity.
Add the Vegetables
Once the steak is cooked, add sliced bell peppers and onions to the skillet. Sauté them together with the steak until they are tender.
Season the Mixture
Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the steak and vegetable mixture. Stir well to ensure even coating and allow it to cook for a few more minutes, letting the flavors meld.
Prepare the Tortillas
While the steak and vegetables are finishing up, warm the tortillas in a separate pan or microwave to make them soft and pliable.
Assemble the Tacos
Spoon the steak and vegetable mixture onto each tortilla, ensuring an even distribution. Top with shredded cheese and any other desired toppings.
Serve Immediately
Once assembled, serve the tacos immediately while they are warm and enjoy the delicious flavors.
Notes
Steak Type
You can use any cut of steak you prefer, but flank or sirloin works best for this recipe due to its flavor and tenderness.
Vegetable Options
Feel free to customize the vegetables used in the tacos. Mushrooms, zucchini, or jalapeños can be great additions.
Toppings Suggestions
Consider adding toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or cilantro for added flavor and texture.
Storage Tips
Leftover filling can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat before serving.
Low-Carb Option
For a low-carb version, consider using lettuce leaves instead of tortillas for a fresh taco alternative.
