Instructions:

In a bowl, combine orange juice, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper to create the marinade

Place flank steak in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring it is evenly coated

Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results

Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat

Remove steak from marinade and discard excess marinade

Grill steak for 4-5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached

Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain

While steak is resting, heat a skillet over medium heat

Add sliced bell peppers and onion to the skillet and cook until softened and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes

Warm corn tortillas on the grill or in a skillet for about 30 seconds per side

To assemble tacos, place a few slices of grilled steak on each tortilla, top with sauted peppers and onions, and any desired toppings such as avocado, cilantro, salsa, or lime wedges
