3. Place avocado, lime juice, salt, and pepper into a medium bowl. Mash with a fork until well combined.
4. Place corn and peppers into a medium bowl, mixing to combine.
5. Place beef slices, a dollop of guacamole, and a spoon of corn and peppers into soft tortilla bread. Serve warm.

The only thing you need to do with this recipe is plan ahead because you need to marinate the meat before hand.

Then you put the meat on the grill and cook, which only takes a couple of minutes per side because its skinny meat. After the meat is done cooking cut it into slices and serve… It’s that easy!
