WHY IT'S LIGHT This low-calorie Tex-Mex meal uses top round steak, a very lean cut of beef; you can also use other lean cuts such as eye of round or top sirloin. Corn tortillas have fewer calories and more nutrients than flour tortillas.

Steps:
- In a shallow dish or bowl, combine steak, soy sauce, and 1/4 cup lime juice. Refrigerate 1 hour, turning steak occasionally. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat 2 teaspoons oil over medium. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Remove from heat. Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon lime juice. Set garlic oil aside.
- Remove steak from marinade and blot dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. In a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet, heat remaining 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high. Cook steak, about 2 minutes per side for mediumrare. Transfer to a cutting board, tent with foil and let rest.
- Add bell peppers and onion to pan; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until vegetables are crisp-tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Stir in reserved garlic oil. Thinly slice steak against the grain and serve with vegetables, tortillas, cheese, tomato, and cilantro.
- To warm the corn tortillas, use tongs to toast them on a gas-stove burner for about 30 seconds per side. Or wrap them (stacked) in damp paper towels and microwave for 30 to 60 seconds, just until softened.
