I've got a piece of flank steak marinating and was hoping some one could share a recipe for beef fajitas. Thanks.

Beef, Steak, Flank, Carne Asada Fajitas
INGREDIENTS:
Guacamole
2 ripe Hass avocados
1 Tbs finely chopped fresh cilantro
2 tsp fresh lime juice
1 tsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Rub
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp dark brown sugar
1/2 tsp pure chile powder
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1 flank steak, about 1 pound and 3/4 inch thick, trimmed of any surface fat
Extra virgin olive oil
1 medium red onion, sliced crosswise into 1/3-inch slices
2 medium red or green bell peppers, seeded and cut into flat sections
4 flour tortillas (10 inches)
Tabasco® sauce
Procedure:
1 Scoop the avocado flesh into a medium bowl. Add the remaining guacamole ingredients and stir with a fork until thoroughly combined. Cover the surface with plastic wrap until ready to use.
2 In a small bowl combine the rub ingredients. Lightly brush or spray the flank steak on both sides with oil and then season evenly with the rub. Allow the steak to stand at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before grilling.
3 Lightly brush or spray the onion and bell peppers on both sides with oil. Grill over direct medium heat (350°F to 450°F) until tender, turning once. The onion will take 8 to 10 minutes and the bell peppers will take 6 to 8 minutes. Cut the onion and bell peppers into bite-sized pieces. Grill the flank steak over direct medium heat until cooked to desired doneness, 8 to 10 minutes for medium rare, turning once. Remove from the grill and let rest for 3 to 5 minutes. Wrap the tortillas in a foil package. Grill the package over direct medium heat to warm the tortillas, about 2 to 3 minutes, turning once.
To serve:
1 Cut the flank steak against the grain into 1/4 inch slices. Place the warm tortillas, sliced meat, onions, peppers, and guacamole in separate serving dishes. Let each person make their own fajita by placing the fillings down the center of each tortilla and adding Tabasco® sauce to taste. Wrap and serve warm.
Grilling Tip:
1 Score the avocado flesh in a diamond pattern so that when you scoop it out, it is already in pieces.
