Instructions:

1. Marinate the Steak:

• In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper, and lime juice.
• Place the thinly sliced flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
• Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it’s well-coated.

3. Cook the Steak:

• In the same skillet, add the marinated steak along with the marinade.
• Cook for 2-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or to your preferred level of doneness.
• Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.

4. Assemble the Steak Fajitas:

• Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds.
• Place a few slices of the cooked steak on a tortilla.
