Special Precautions and Tips:

• Use flank steak for the best results, as it is a lean and flavorful cut of meat that is perfect for tacos.
• If you prefer a spicier taco, add more chili powder or cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix.
• To make the tacos ahead of time, cook the steak and vegetables up to step 6. Store them separately in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, heat the tortillas and assemble the tacos.
