- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 package (1 oz) Old El Paso™ Original Taco Seasoning Mix
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 large red onion, cut in 3/4-inch thick wedges with root end intact
- 2 orange, yellow or red bell peppers, each cut into large (about 2 inches wide) planks
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 2 teaspoons lime juice
- 1 package (8 count) Old El Paso™ Taco Bowls™ Flour Tortillas, removed from package and wrapped in heavy-duty foil

Preparation
- Heat gas or charcoal grill.
- Combine steak with 2 tablespoons of the oil, the taco seasoning mix and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt in large resealable food-storage plastic bag. Seal bag; turn to evenly coat. Place in refrigerator to marinate 45 minutes.
- Brush onion wedges and bell pepper planks with remaining tablespoon of oil; season with chili powder and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Remove steak from marinade; discard marinade. Place steak and vegetables on grill over medium heat (350°F to 400°F); cover grill. Cook 9 to 11 minutes, turning once for medium doneness (135°F internal temperature) or until desired doneness. Grill vegetables 8 to 10 minutes, turning once, until softened and lightly charred. Turn grill to low (250°F to 300°F). Transfer steak and vegetables to cutting board; let rest 10 minutes.
- Place wrapped bowls on low grill; heat 6 minutes, turning once halfway through.
- Cut steak into thin strips across the grain, then cut strips into bite-size pieces. Toss with lime juice. Chop vegetables, discarding onion roots.
- Divide steak and vegetables among warm bowls. Serve with lime wedges and desired fresh toppings.
Expert Tips
- Try these additional fresh toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, jalapeño or avocado.
- Cutting the steak in thin strips across the grain is the best way to enjoy skirt steak.
