The mild heat of poblano peppers and the subtle sweetness of mango create an unforgettable pairing.
Ingredients
- 1 lb top sirloin steak, cut 3/4-inch thick
- 2 med poblano peppers, sliced
- 1 med onion, cut into 1/2-inch thick slices

Directions

- Remove and discard skins, stems and seeds from peppers when cool enough to handle. Chop peppers and onion. Combine chopped vegetables, mango, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt in medium bowl. Set aside.
- Place tortillas on grid. Grill, uncovered for 30 seconds on each side or until heated through and lightly browned.
