Marinate flank steak in lime juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin, chili powder, black pepper, and salt for at least 30 minutes.

Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat until hot.

Remove steak from marinade and grill for 6-8 minutes per side until desired doneness.

Transfer steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

While the steak rests, slice bell peppers and onion into strips.

In the same skillet, add a bit of olive oil and sauté the bell peppers and onion until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.

Slice the rested steak against the grain into thin strips.

Assemble fajitas by placing steak, sautéed peppers, and onions on a tortilla.

Top with sour cream, guacamole, cilantro, and jalapeños as desired.

Serve immediately with lime wedges.
