For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cumin or chili powder to the steak marinade. Feel free to substitute other vegetables like red bell peppers, yellow bell peppers, or poblano peppers to create a colorful and flavorful fajita mix. Warming the tortillas before serving enhances their texture and flavor. You can warm them in a dry skillet, microwave, or oven. Allowing the steak to rest after cooking helps retain its juices, resulting in a more tender and flavorful fajita. Adjust the cooking time of the steak to your preferred level of doneness.
