Preparation

  1. Heat gas or charcoal grill.
  2. 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.
  3. Brush onion wedges and bell pepper planks with remaining tablespoon of oil; season with chili powder and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. 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.
  5. Place wrapped bowls on low grill; heat 6 minutes, turning once halfway through.
  6. Cut steak into thin strips across the grain, then cut strips into bite-size pieces. Toss with lime juice. Chop vegetables, discarding onion roots.
