- 1⁄2 cup tequila
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt

directions
- Stir together the first 8 ingredients in a medium bowl to make the marinade. Combine the steak and 3/4 cup of the marinade in a large zip-top bag. Place the peppers and onion in another large zip-top bag, and pour in the remaining marinade.
- Seal the bags and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours, turning occasionally.
- Coat a grill rack or grill pan with vegetable cooking spray. Remove the steak and vegetables from the bags and discard the marinade.
- Grill the steak 8 minutes per side and the vegetables 8 to 10 minutes, turning them every 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the steak and vegetables from the grill.
- Keep the vegetables warm and let the steak sit for 10 minutes before slicing. Wrap the tortillas in foil and place on the grill or a grill pan to warm for a few minutes.
- Cut the steak on an angle, against the grain, into thin slices. Fill the tortillas with peppers, onion, and steak. Top with salsa, diced avocado, or sour cream (if desired).

My husband insisted that I give this 5 stars. We chose this tonight because we bought a ton of limes on sale (10 for $1). We used tenderloin steak and I sliced the steak into strips before marinating. This came together very quickly. I only marinated for 1 hour and the flavors really came through. I would worry that 4 hours might make it too intense. This is a great, easy & fast recipe (if you prepare ahead with the marinade). Thanks for the great recipe! :)

<p>My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) <br /><br />5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
