Instructions

In a bowl, toss steak slices with olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
Heat a skillet over medium-high and cook steak for 3–5 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté bell peppers and onion for 4–5 minutes until softened and caramelized.
Preheat a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Place a tortilla in the skillet. Layer with 1/2 cup cheese, cooked steak, and sautéed vegetables. Top with another 1/2 cup cheese and fold tortilla over.
Cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden and cheese is melted.
Slice and serve with sour cream and salsa, if desired.

Notes

Use pre-shredded cheese for convenience or shred fresh for a creamier melt.
Skirt steak can be substituted for flank steak.
Add jalapeños for extra heat.
