1 1/2 pounds skirt steak
1 Tablespoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon pure chili powder
1-teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 limes (juice)
1/2 cup cilantro
1/2 cup Sherry Vinegar
1 Chipotle Pepper (secret ingredient)
GRILLED VEGETABLES:
1 green bell pepper
1 red bell pepper
3 onions
TOPPING:
2 cups sour cream
2 cups guacamole (recipe follows)
2 cups salsa
18 small flour tortillas

Put skirt steaks in a non-reactive baking dish. Add the salt, cumin, garlic and onion powders, chili powder, coriander, black pepper, sherry vinegar, cilantro, lime juice and chipotle pepper (SECRET INGREDIENT) in a bowl and mix well. Pour this mixture over the meat. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Preheat grill (temperature should be high).

Grill peppers until charred on all sides, turning, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board, wrap in tin foil, until cool, then peel.

Grill the onions until nicely browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side.

Unwrap the peppers; scrape off charred skin of pepper with a knife. Scrape out the seeds, and cut into thin inch strips. Cut the onions into pieces.

Grill skirt steaks to taste (3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare). Slice when done.

Place the tortillas on grill (15 seconds per side).

TO SERVE:
Place steak and vegetables on a tortilla. Add guacamole, sour cream, and salsa on top. Wrap and eat.
