INGREDIENTS
4 oz Flank Steak
1 medium Whole Wheat Tortilla
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper
1/4 cup Reduced-Fat Cheddar Cheese
1 tbsp Lime Juice
1 tsp Chili Powder
1 tsp Cumin
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Thinly slice the flank steak against the grain. In a bowl, marinate steak slices with lime juice, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Let sit for at least 15 minutes.
While marinating, slice the red bell pepper into thin strips.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated steak and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it starts to brown but remains tender.
Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, quickly sauté the bell pepper strips for about 2 minutes until just tender.
Place the whole wheat tortilla in the skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese on one half of the tortilla, then layer the cooked steak and bell peppers evenly over the cheese. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
Fold the tortilla in half and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until the cheese melts and the tortilla is crispy.
Remove from skillet, cut into wedges, and serve immediately with an extra squeeze of lime if desired.
