Ingredients:
For the Steak & Vegetables:
 1 pound lean flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
 1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
 1 medium onion, sliced
 2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon chili powder
 1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon black pepper
 Juice of 1 lime
For Serving:
8 small whole wheat tortillas or large lettuce leaves
 Fresh cilantro, chopped
 Sliced avocado
 Plain Greek yogurt (optional, in place of sour cream)
 Lime wedges
Instructions:
Season the steak:
   In a bowl, combine the sliced steak with 1 tablespoon olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, black pepper, garlic, and lime juice. Toss to coat and let marinate for 15–20 minutes.
Cook the vegetables:
   Heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced peppers and onion and cook for 6–8 minutes, until tender-crisp and lightly caramelized. Transfer the vegetables to a plate.
Cook the steak:
   In the same skillet, add the marinated steak in a single layer. Cook for 2–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness.
Combine:
   Return the cooked vegetables to the skillet and stir everything together for 1–2 minutes until heated through.
Warm the tortillas:
   Heat the whole wheat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.
Serve and enjoy:
   Fill each tortilla or lettuce wrap with the steak and vegetable mixture. Top with avocado, fresh cilantro, a dollop of plain Greek yogurt if desired, and an extra squeeze of lime.
