Marinate for at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours.When ready to cook, preheat a gas grill to high. If you are using a charcoal grill, build a fire and let it burn down until the coals are glowing red with a light coating of white ash. Spread the coals evenly. Clean the cooking grate.Grill the steaks for 7 to 8 minutes per side for medium doneness. Remove the steaks from the grill and allow them to cool, about 5 minutes. Cut the steaks into 1/4-inch-thick strips, being sure to cut across the grain, and on a slight bias. Set aside.In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Saute the peppers and onions for 5 to 7 minutes, or until they just begin to soften. Add the steak and cook until just heated through, about another 2 to 3 minutes.Meanwhile, grill or toast the tortillas until softened and warm, about 20 seconds per side.Serve the steak mixture with the tortillas and a variety of toppings, such as cheese, sour cream, guacamole or salsa.Serves eight.Adapted from "Grilling" by the Culinary Institute of America.
