  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, for grilling
  • 12 to 16 flour or corn tortillas (6-inch diameter)

Citrus Marinade:

  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Taco Toppings:

  • 12 lime wedges
  • 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup chopped lettuce
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup guacamole or chopped avocado
  • 1/2 cup salsa or hot sauce 
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

COOKING:

  1. In a large bowl, combine orange juice, lime juice, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
  2. Place steak in food-safe plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour marinade over steak; turn to coat. Close bag securely or cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, for best flavor.
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil grill grates to prevent sticking.
  4. Coat sliced bell peppers and onion with vegetable oil; season with pepper. Place in grill basket or directly on the grill, cooking 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly charred and softened, stirring occasionally. Remove and set aside.
  5. Remove steak from marinade; discard remaining marinade. Pat steak dry with paper towels. Grill, 5 to 7 minutes on each side, for medium rare (145°F) to medium (160°F) doneness, turning occasionally. 
  6. Remove steak from grill and transfer to cutting board; rest 5 minutes. Meanwhile wrap tortillas in foil and place on grill to warm, 2 to 3 minutes, turning once.
  7. Slice flank steak against the grain and place on large serving table or platter. Arrange peppers, onions, and toppings around steak. Serve with taco toppings.
