Fajita Beef Tacos


Traditionally fajita meat is skirt steak, but I mistakenly  bought flank steak and they are pretty similar. I seasoned the flank steak on both sides with about a teaspoon of fajita seasoning and let it sit out on the cutting board for about an hour. Meanwhile, I diced tomatoes, cilantro, onions, cabbage and heated the corn tortillas. Purple cabbage would have been prettier and lime is more appropriate than lemon, but I used what I had. Since I do not have a functioning grill right now, I tried broiling the steak on high for about 15 minutes (flipping halfway through).  I think it would have improved with additional seasoning and cook time. I have another flank steak and I plan to let it sit in the refrigerator overnight with about twice the seasoning and broil it about 10 more minutes longer to get a better sear. I'll let you know how it goes.

Tomatoes - diced
Cilantro - chopped

Edit:
I tried it again and I have to say the added seasoning and cook time definitely helped! I stir fried some onions and bell peppers and served it with a sliced avocado. Here's a picture:
