To make the marinade, reserve 1 lime half. Finely grate the rind of remaining lime half, then juice the lime half. Place the lime rind and lime juice in a small bowl. Add garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, chilli flakes, if using, and oil. Season and stir to combine.
Place the steak in a shallow bowl. Pour over half the marinade and turn to coat.
Heat a cast iron grill pan or chargrill on medium-high. Cook the steak for 2 mins each side or until cooked to your liking. Transfer the steak to a plate and loosely cover with foil. Set aside for 5 mins to rest.
Meanwhile, add the combined capsicum and onion to the grill. Cook, turning, for 2 mins or until vegetables are lightly charred. Add the remaining marinade and cook for 2-3 mins or until vegetables soften. Season.
Cut the reserved lime half into wedges. Thinly slice the steak and arrange over the vegetable mixture in the pan. Drizzle with any resting juices. Serve with avocado, coriander sprigs, sour cream, dried chilli flakes, if using, tortillas and lime wedges.
COOK. STORE. SAVE.
Smart swap: Got a jar of roasted peppers (capsicum)? Drain and chargrill them here with the onion, instead of the red capsicums.
