Bring up two opposite edges of foil and seal with a double fold. Then fold remaining ends to completely enclose the onions and pepper, leaving space for steam to build.

  • Step 3: Stack the tortillas and wrap in a double thickness of heavy foil.

Cover and grill for 10 minutes. Brush steak with reserved marinade. Add wrapped tortillas to the grill rack. Continue grilling for 8 to 12 minutes more or till beef is desired doneness. Turning steak along with packet of veggies and tortillas.

  • Step 5: Thinly slice steak into bite-size pieces. Divide steak and onion mixture among the tortillas. Roll up tortillas. Serve with avocado slices and sour cream.
