Marinade:
- Juice of 2 limes
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp chopped garlic
- 1 tsp dried oregano leaves
- 1 tsp dried chilies, crushed
Avocado Salsa:
- 1 large avocado, diced
- 2 Roma tomatoes, diced

Method
1. Place beef in ziplock bag and add marinade ingredients. Shake well to coat beef. Marinate for 30 minutes to 2 hours. Discard marinade, pat meat dry and season to taste.
2. Combine salsa ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
3. Heat oil in pan and cook beef on medium high for 3-4 minutes each side for medium rare or until springy to the touch. Transfer to a board and let stand 5-10 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain.
4. While beef is resting, heat remaining oil in skillet or non-stick pan on high heat and stir-fry peppers and onion until soft and slightly caramelized, about 4-5 minutes. Add beef and toss just to heat through.
5. Fill warm tortillas with beef and vegetables and serve with salsa, lime and cilantro. Accompany with a bottle of Mexican beer!
To Serve: Add lime wedges and extra cilantro
