Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 2 ripe hass avocadoes
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon dark brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon pure chile powder
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 lb flank steak, trimmed of any surface fat (about 3/4 inch thick)
• extra virgin olive oil
• 1 medium red onion, cut crosswise into 1/3 inch slices
• 1 medium red bell peppers or 1 medium green bell pepper, seeded and cut into flat sections
• 4 flour tortillas (10 inch)

Recipe

• 1 make the guacamole: scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl; add the remaining guacamole ingredients; stir with a fork until combined.
• 2 cover with plastic wrap to prevent browning.
• 3 make the rub: in a small bowl, combine all the rub ingredients.
• 4 lightly brush or spray the flank steak on both sides with oil; season steak evenly with the rub.
• 5 let steak stand at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before grilling.
• 6 lightly brush or spray the onion and bell peppers on both sides with oil.
• 7 grill over direct medium heat until tender, turning once; the onion will take 8-10 minutes and the bell peppers will take 6-8 minutes.
• 8 cut the onion and bell peppers into bite-sized pieces.
• 9 grill the flank steak over direct high heat until cooked to desired doneness, 8-10 minutes for medium-rare, turning once.
• 10 remove from grill and let rest 3-5 minutes.
• 11 wrap the tortillas in a foil package; grill the package over direct medium heat to warm the tortillas, 2-3 minutes, turning once.
• 12 to serve: cut the flank steak against the grain into ¼ inch slices.
• 13 place the warm tortillas, sliced, meat, onions, peppers, and guacamole in separate serving dishes.
• 14 let each person make their own fajita by placing the fillings down the center of each tortilla and adding tabasco to taste; wrap and serve warm.
