Make a fajita seasoning by mixing chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, red pepper flakes, brown sugar, corn starch, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.

Set the seasoning aside for later use.

Cut the flank steak into two pieces, then slice against the grain to ensure tenderness.

Transfer the sliced steak into a mixing bowl and add lemon juice.

Add the fajita seasoning to the steak and mix everything together well.

Cover the bowl and let the steak marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

Slice an onion and a green bell pepper (or your favorite bell pepper).

Heat olive oil in a cast iron pan over medium-high heat until hot and smoky.

Add half of the marinated steak to the pan, ensuring not to overcrowd it, and sear for 2 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Remove the cooked steak from the pan and set aside, then repeat the process with the remaining steak.

In the same pan, add the sliced onion and green bell pepper and cook for 2 minutes until slightly softened.

Add the cooked steak back into the pan with the vegetables and toss everything together.

To serve, place a flour tortilla on a hot griddle, add cheddar cheese, and let it melt.

Add queso sauce to the melted cheese on the tortilla.

On the other side of the griddle, add the steak fajitas and top with more queso sauce and cheddar cheese.

Once the cheese has melted, remove the tortilla from the griddle and transfer it to a plate.

Top the fajitas with sour cream before serving.
