GRILLED CARNE ASADA

3 tablespoons oil
1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
1 green bell pepper, cut into strips
2 large onions, sliced
1 1/2 pounds flank steak
1/2 tablespoon coarse salt
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 bay leaf, crumbled
1 clove garlic, minced
1 lemon, juiced
1 lime, juiced
12 flour tortillas
salsa
avocados
2 cups Jack cheese, shredded
1/2 cup cilantro

Score the flank steak.  In a small bowl, combine salt, cumin, oregano and bay leaf.  Rub mixture into both sides of steak.  Rub in garlic.  Pound meat, working seasonings into meat.  Place meat in a shallow dish.  Squeeze the juices over both sides and marinate for awhile.

Saute bell peppers and onions in vegetable oil over medium-high heat until tender and beginning to brown.  Add cilantro and stir.

Grill or broil steak, until done to your liking.  Allow to rest 5 minutes.  Slice very thinly on the diagonal.  Heat tortillas in foil in the oven or on the grill.  Fill tortillas with steak, cheese, onion and pepper mix, salsa and avocado slices (if desired).  Roll up and enjoy!  YIELD:  4 servings

** I have marinated the steak, cooked the peppers and onions and frozen it all for later.  Thaw the meat and grill it.  Heat the peppers and onions in microwave.
