Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2- 2 pound flank steak or skirt steak
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • 1 heaping teaspoon chipotle powder or to taste or chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • Juice of a lime
  • 1 head large romaine lettuce leaves
  • shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • Salsa of choice
  • Fresh guacamole or sliced avocado
Roasted Vegetables
  • 2 large bell peppers seeded and cut into strips
  • 1 large onion cut into wedges
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • Splash of sherry vinegar
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Method
 

  1. Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat) or grill pan, if grilling indoors. Sprinkle steak on both sides with salt and chipotle powder. Whisk the olive oil and lime juice together in 11×7-inch glass dish. Add the meat and turn to coat, placing in single layer. Marinate 15-30 minutes at room temperature.
  2. Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees. Toss the peppers and onion with the olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. Place the vegetables on a sheet tray in a single layer. Roast the vegetables for about 20 minutes or until softened and turning brown on the edges. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  3. Grill steak to desired doneness, about 2 1/2 minutes per side for medium (on an outside grill and a bit longer indoors). Transfer to a work surface and let the steak rest at least 5 minutes. Thinly slice steak across grain. Divide steak and vegetables equally among lettuce leaves. Garnish lettuce wraps as you like.
