Quick Beef Fajitas with Pico de Gallo

1 beef flank steak (about 1 1/2 pounds)
8 medium flour tortillas, warmed

Marinade:
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, minced

Pico de Gallo:
1/2 cup chopped seeded tomato
1/2 cup diced zucchini
1/4 chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup prepared picante sauce or salsa
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1. Combine marinade ingredients in small bowl. Place beef steak and marinade in food-safe plastic bag; turn to coat. Close bag securely and marinate in refrigerator 6 hours or as long as overnight, turning occasionally.
