Instructions

1- Prep the Ingredients:

2- Seasoning:

• Sprinkle the remainder of the spice mix over the vegetables and sauté for about 5-6 minutes, until the peppers are tender-crisp.

6- Combine Ingredients:

• Return the cooked steak to the skillet with the vegetables and toss everything together.
• Cook for another 2 minutes to combine flavors.

7- Serve:

• Serve the steak and pepper mixture on fresh tortillas and top with fresh pico de gallo. Enjoy!
