Weber’s Big Book of Grilling; refrigeration time is 4-6 hours.
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons cracked black peppercorns
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 1/2-2 lbs flank steaks, about 3/4 inches thick
kosher salt
8 flour tortillas (8 inches)
2 cups grated cheddar cheese or 2 cups monterey jack cheese
4 cups shredded romaine lettuce
2 cups prepared chunky salsa
1 cup sour cream
Directions:
1. To make the paste: in a bowl, whisk the paste ingredients together.
2. Trim steak of surface fat; coat both sides of the steak with the paste.
3. Place steak in a large zip-lock plastic bag; press the air out of the bag and seal tightly.
4. Set the bag on a plate and refrigerate for 4-6 hours.
5. Remove steak from the bag and let stand at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before grilling.
6. Season with salt; grill over direct medium heat until the internal temperature reaches 145° for medium rare, 8-10 minutes, turning halfway through grilling time.
7. Remove from the grill and let rest 3-5 minutes; cut across the grain into thin strips.
8. Divide the tortillas and wrap in two foil packets; grill the packets over direct medium heat until warm, about 2 minutes, turning once halfway through grilling time.
9. Place the steak strips in the center of the tortillas; add the cheese, lettuce, and salsa, top with the sour cream.
