This amazing combination of grilled flank steak, peppers, scallions, and (yes!) avocado makes a super-flavorful weeknight supper or party dish. In addition to adding a smoky flavor to the avocado, grilling the avocado makes them extra creamy. If you want char marks on the tortillas, don’t wrap them in foil. Lay them in a single layer on the grill until heated and grill marks appear.

Ingredients

• 12 small corn tortillas
• 1½ tsp granulated garlic
• 1½ tsp kosher salt
• ¾ tsp Chili powder, chipotle variety
• ¾ tsp ground cumin
• 1 avocado, medium, Hass, ripe but firm
• 1½ tsp olive oil, extra virgin, divided
• 2 large red bell peppers
• 12 medium uncooked scallions, trimmed
• 1 pound uncooked lean flank steak
• ⅓ cup uncooked red onion, minced, finely chopped
• ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
• ½ cup cilantro, leaves, torn
• 2 medium fresh limes, cut into wedges
• 1 tbsp hot sauce, optional

Instructions

1. Off heat, coat the grill rack or grill pan with nonstick spray. Preheat a gas grill or grill pan to medium-high, or prepare a medium-high fire on a charcoal grill.
2. Stack tortillas and wrap them in foil. In a small bowl, combine granulated garlic, salt, chile powder, and cumin. Halve, pit, and peel avocado. Brush cut sides of avocado halves with 1⁄2 tsp oil and sprinkle with 1⁄4 tsp spice blend.
3. Core and seed bell peppers. Slice each into 6 rings and transfer to a large bowl. Halve scallions crosswise and add to peppers. Drizzle vegetables with remaining 1 tsp oil and toss with 1 tsp spice blend. Rub the remaining spice blend all over the steak.
4. Transfer the packet of tortillas to the grill. Arrange steak, vegetables, and avocado on the grill. Grill vegetables and avocado until charred, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Grill steak to the desired doneness, 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer steak to cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice steak very thinly against the grain.
5. Cut each avocado half into 6 pieces and mash 1 piece down the center of each tortilla. On each tortilla, layer 1 pepper ring, 2 scallion pieces, and about 1 oz steak. Garnish with onion, cheese, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges and hot sauce (if using).
