Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, mix the olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add the flank steak, ensuring it is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge).
  2. Step 2: Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
  3. Step 3: In the same skillet, add the sliced bell pepper and onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they are tender. Add lime juice and stir to combine.
  4. Step 4: Serve the sliced steak and sautéed vegetables in warm tortillas. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
  5. Step 5: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut the russet potatoes into thin strips or wedges.
  6. Step 6: Toss the potato strips in a bowl with vegetable oil, salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings you desire.
  7. Step 7: Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  8. Step 8: In a large bowl, mix the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and feta cheese.
  9. Step 9: Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss gently to combine.

Notes

Store the steak and veggies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Fries can be stored in a separate container but are best enjoyed fresh. Reheat in the oven to regain their crispiness. The salad can be stored for up to 2 days, but it's best to keep the dressing separate until you're ready to eat.
