Method

Follow these cooking methods/directions:

  1. Combine lime zest and juice, orange juice, soy sauce, garlic, chutney and cumin in a shallow dish. Add beef strips, turning to coat; cover and refrigerate for 4 to 12 hours.

  2. Grill red pepper and green onions in a closed preheated barbecue over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes, turning once, or until grill marked and tender. Transfer to a cutting board and set aside. Increase grill to medium-high heat.

  3. Grill tortillas, for about 1 minute per side, turning once, or until grill marked. Wrap tortillas in foil and set aside. Increase grill to high heat (if using for beef).
