preparation
1. To make the guacamole: Scoop the avocado flesh into a medium bowl. Add the remaining guacamole ingredients and stir with a fork until thoroughly combined. Cover the surface with plastic wrap to prevent browning.

3. Lightly brush or spray the onion and bell peppers on both sides with oil. Grill over Direct Medium heat until tender, turning once. The onion will take 8 to 10 minutes and the bell peppers will take 6 to 8 minutes. Cut the onion and bell peppers into bite-sized pieces. Grill the flank steak over Direct High heat until cooked to desired doneness, 8 to 10 minutes for medium-rare, turning once. Remove from the grill and let rest for 3 to 5 minutes. Wrap the tortillas in a foil package. Grill the package over Direct Medium heat to warm the tortillas, 2 to 3
4. Minutes, turning once.
5. To serve, cut the flank steak against the grain into 1/4-inch slices. Place the warm tortillas, sliced meat, onions, peppers, and guacamole in separate serving dishes.
