This amazing combination of grilled flank steak, peppers, scallions and (yes!) avocado makes a super-flavourful weeknight supper or party dish. In addition to adding a smoky flavour to the avocado, grilling the avocado makes them extra creamy. If you want char marks on the tortillas, don’t wrap them in foil. Lay them in a single layer on grill until heated and grill marks appear.

Transfer packet of tortillas to grill. Arrange steak, vegetables, and avocado on grill. Grill vegetables and avocado until charred, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to plate. Grill steak to desired doneness, 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer steak to cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice steak very thinly against grain.
