Chili Spiced Steak Wraps

Recipe from Wish-Bone.

3/4 cup bottled Italian dressing

2 tablespoons lime juice

1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

1-1/2 teaspoons ground cumin

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon grated lime peel

1 beef flank steak (about 1-1/2 pounds)

6 large flour tortillas, heated

In large, shallow nonaluminum baking dish or plastic bag, combine all ingredients except steak and tortillas. Add steak; turn to coat. Cover, or close bag, and marinate in the refrigerator, turning occasionally, 3 to 24 hours.

Remove steak from marinade, reserving marinade. Grill or broil steak, turning once, until done.

Meanwhile, in small saucepan, bring reserved marinade to a boil; boil 1 minute. To serve, thinly slice steak and serve in warm flour tortillas with boiled marinade and, if desired, grilled red and green bell pepper rings.

Yield: 6 servings.
