I recently saw a chef on TV use Senegalese sauces and marinades, and that inspired me for the spicy sauce I used in the wrap. Sweet, spicy and hot all at the same time, but also refreshing because of the lime and avocado!

How To Make spicy steak roasted red pepper wrap

  • Step 1
    Slice skirt steak into slivers. Place in bowl along with garlic, salt, pepper, cardamom and olive oil. Set aside to marinate at room temp while making the sauce.
  • Step 2
    SPICY SAUCE: Whisk together mayo and hot sauce (I used Frank's Red Hot). Then whisk in olive oil and lime juice. Then whisk in honey, cilantro, green onion, salt and pepper.
  • Step 3
    Set sauce in fridge and turn attention back to meat. If you have time, give steak more time to marinate, for a fuller flavor.
  • Step 4
    Into a hot frying pan, saute the steak for 2 minutes. Add diced roasted red pepper and sautee for another 4-5 minutes, stirring often.
  • Step 5
    Warm tortillas in microwave for 10 seconds.
  • Step 6
    Into warm tortilla, layer steak with peppers, red onion, spicy sauce, avocado and lettuce. Optional: I sprinkled the whole thing with some extra lime juice. Wrap, eat and enjoy!
