Method
Marinate the Steak
-
In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, paprika, cumin, chilli powder, lime juice, salt, and pepper.
-
Coat the flap steak in the marinade and let it rest for at least 10–15 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the fridge for deeper flavour.
Cook the Steak
-
Heat a grill, grill pan, or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
-
Cook the steak for about 3–5 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until medium-rare to medium.
-
Let the steak rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
Make the Sauce
-
Mix all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl until smooth.
-
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Assemble the Wraps
-
Warm the tortillas slightly to make them more pliable.
-
Spread a spoonful of sauce on each tortilla.
-
Layer with lettuce, tomato, onion, avocado, mozzarella, and the sliced steak.
Wrap and Serve
-
Fold the bottom of the tortilla up, then fold in the sides and roll tightly into a wrap.
-
Slice in half if desired and serve with extra sauce on the side.
