Ingredients

Trim any visible fat from steak then place in a sturdy, sealable plastic bag. Add lime juice, garlic, cumin, paprika and oregano. Massage bag so meat is covered in the marinade then leave to stand for 15-20 minutes (refrigerate if marinating for longer).
Heat a large heavy frying pan over a medium-high heat. Drizzle a little oil then fry steak for 2 minutes each side. Remove from pan and set aside.
Add measured oil to pan then add onion and cook, stirring frequently until onion softens. Add capsicums. Stir-fry until softened.
Cut steak crossways in 5mm-thin slices. Add to pan (along with any juices) and stir-fry for 1-2 more minutes. Season to taste. Transfer mixture to a serving dish. Sprinkle with coriander.
Serve with warmed tortillas, carrot and lettuce on the side with a little sour cream and some hot sauce (if using).

If capsicums are too expensive, try using a frozen stir-fry vege mix instead.
