Ingredients:

1 lb (450 g) flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced
2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bell pepper (any color), thinly sliced
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp chili powder (optional for extra heat)

Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice)
8-10 large lettuce leaves (e.g., Romaine, Butter, or Iceberg)
Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Lime wedges (for serving)
Optional toppings: sour cream, salsa, sliced jalapeños, avocado slices

Instructions:

Prepare the Steak:
Season the sliced steak with salt, pepper, cumin, smoked paprika, and chili powder (if using). Toss to coat evenly.
Cook the Steak:
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the sliced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
Increase the heat to high and add the steak to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the steak is browned and cooked through.
Add the Bell Pepper:
Add the sliced bell pepper to the skillet with the steak and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the peppers are tender but still crisp.
Melt the Cheese:
Reduce the heat to low. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the steak and peppers. Cover the skillet and let it sit for 1-2 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
Assemble the Tacos:
Arrange the lettuce leaves on a serving plate or platter.
Spoon the steak and cheese mixture onto the lettuce leaves.
Garnish and Serve:
Top with fresh cilantro and any optional toppings you like.
Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
