INGREDIENTS:

1 lime, juiced

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 (7 ounce) can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce

2 pounds top sirloin steak

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 red peppers, seeded and sliced

1 large white onion, sliced

Flour tortillas

Shredded cheese, your choice

Salsa

Sour cream

Guacamole

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a small bowl combine the lime juice, garlic, oregano and cumin. Finely chop 2 tablespoons of the Chile peppers and add to the mixture. Add 1 tablespoon of the sauce. (You can freeze the rest of the can for later use.)
2. Puncture the meat with a sharp knife several times. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the meat, turning to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.
3. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil grate. Grill over high heat until internal temperature reaches at least 145 degrees.
4. In the meantime, heat vegetable oil in a large skillet and cook the peppers and onion until soft, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Heat the tortillas on a plate in the microwave, with a damp paper towel covering them, until warm.
6. To serve, place peppers, onions and steak on the tortilla and top with the toppings of your choice.
