Equipment

  • Pot
  • Grill
  • small bowl
  • Nonstick skillet
  • Fork
  • Knife

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ½ cup red onion sliced
  • ½ tsp. smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp. ground cumin
  • ½ tsp. garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp. + ⅛ tsp. salt
  • 1 lb. boneless sirloin steak
  • 1 red pepper quartered lengthwise, seeded
  • 4 burrito-size flour tortillas
  • 1 avocado halved, pitted, peeled
  • 1 Tbs. lime juice
  • 4 leaves green leaf lettuce torn

Instructions

  • In a pot, combine vinegar, sugar, and ½ cup water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove from heat and add the red onion slices. Let cool completely.
  • Prepare your grill for medium-high direct-heat cooking. Mix the smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Rub this spice mixture evenly over the steak.
  • Lightly coat the bell peppers with cooking spray.
  • Grill the steak, turning once, for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until your preferred doneness. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly.
  • Grill the peppers, turning once, until they are crisp-tender, about 3 minutes per side. Allow them to cool slightly, then cut into ½-inch wide strips.
  • Heat a dry nonstick skillet over medium heat. Warm the tortillas by cooking each for about 1 minute per side, flipping once.
  • In a bowl, mash the avocado with a fork, adding lime juice and the remaining ⅛ teaspoon salt until smooth.
  • Lay out the warmed tortillas and place a layer of lettuce on each. Evenly distribute the sliced steak, grilled peppers, and pickled onions among the tortillas. Add a dollop of the mashed avocado mixture to each. Tightly roll up the tortillas to enclose the filling, then cut them in half diagonally.

Tips & Tricks

  • Marinate Time: Let the pickled red onions cool completely to allow the flavors to meld properly.
  • Grill Prep: Make sure your grill is properly preheated to medium-high heat before adding the steak and peppers to ensure a nice sear and even cooking.
  • Steak Resting: Allow the steak to rest for at least 5 minutes after grilling to retain its juices and make it easier to slice.
  • Tortilla Warming: Don’t skip warming the tortillas. It makes them more pliable and enhances the overall texture of the wraps.
  • Avocado Mixture: Mash the avocado just before assembling the wraps to keep it fresh and prevent browning.
  • Serving Suggestion: Serve these wraps with a side of salsa or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.
