Method

In a bowl, mix the steak with the spices and leave to marinate for 10 mins, or longer if you have time.
Heat 1tbsp of oil in a large pan or wok and fry the steak until browned all over; set aside. Add the remaining oil and cook peppers and onions for a few mins.
Return steak to the pan with the tomatoes and cook for 4-5 mins.
For the guacamole: peel the avocados and mash in a bowl with lime zest and juice and garlic. Finely chop the peppers, stir into the avocado and season.
Spoon the filling into each tortilla and add a dollop of guacamole and soured cream. Sprinkle over a little cheese, roll up and serve.
