Directions
-
Prepare a charcoal grill for high heat, ensuring the coals are white and hot.
-
In a shallow dish, whisk together the corn oil, 2 teaspoons of the chopped garlic, and 3 tablespoons of the red wine vinegar.
-
Add the sirloin steak pieces to the marinade, turning to coat them evenly. Set aside to marinate for at least 10 minutes while preparing the salsa.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the cubed tomatoes, finely chopped onion, red chilies, remaining 1 teaspoon of garlic, and remaining 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar. Toss gently to blend. Set aside.
-
Place about 4 pieces of marinated steak on the hot grill. Cook for approximately 1 minute per side for medium-rare, or longer to desired doneness.
-
Simultaneously, place the flour tortillas on the grill. Heat for a few seconds per side just until warm and pliable; do not overcook or they will dry out.
-
Repeat grilling the remaining steak and tortillas in batches.
-
To serve, place one piece of steak in the center of a warm tortilla. Spoon a generous amount of the fresh tomato salsa over the meat.
-
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling to enclose the steak, creating a sandwich-style wrap. Serve immediately.
