Ingredients:

8 flour tortillas
2-1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Salt and black pepper
1-1/2 pounds sirloin steak
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 bell peppers, cut into strips
3 bunches scallions, cut into 2-inch lengths
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 cup cilantro sprigs

Extra! Extra!
Chop leftover steak and vegetables for a baked-potato topping.

Directions:

Wrap the tortillas in foil; place in the oven and heat to 300°.
In a small bowl, stir together the chili powder, cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and black pepper; sprinkle all over the steak. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and the steak, tent with foil and cook for 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare; transfer to a cutting board, tent with the foil and let rest for 5 minutes before thinly slicing.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, the bell peppers, scallions and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, over medium heat until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Add the steak along with any juices and the cilantro and toss. Serve with the warmed tortillas.
