avocado. Mash with a potato masher until well combined but still
chunky. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cover tightly and refrigerate
for up to 24 hours.
Grill steak over hot coals or indoors in a preheated ridged cast iron
grill pan over high heat. Cook for 5 minutes per side for rare, 7
minutes per side for medium rare, 10 minutes per side for well done.
Let the steak stand for 5 minutes then cut in two pieces (you will
have two almost square pieces). Cut on the diagonal into thin slices.
Warm tortillas by setting them directly over the grill or under the
oven broiler for 30 seconds on each side. Place steak slices in
warmed tortillas, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top with lettuce,
Salsa Fresca, guacamole, and sour cream. Roll up and serve
