- Large corn or flour tortillas
- 2 large red peppers
- 2 large green peppers
- 2 large mild red onion
- Sour cream (salsa and sliced avocados)
- 2 pounds skirt steak cut into a few large pieces
Marinade:
- 1/2 cup olive oil

- 1/4 cup lime juice (can substitute lemon)
- 1/2 teaspoon mild red pepper flakes (can substitute hot)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin

- Burn wood or charcoal until gray ash appears.
