Steak and Grilled Vegetable Wrap
Yield: Makes 4 servings
Ingredients:
Mango Salsa (recipe follows)

1
medium red bell pepper, seeded, cored and quartered

1
green bell pepper, seeded, cored and quartered

3/4
pound large mushrooms

2
green onions, sliced

1/4
cup fresh lemon juice

1/8
teaspoon black pepper

1/2
beef flank steak (1/2 to 3/4 pound)

4
large (10-inch) fat-free flour tortillas

1/3
cup lightly packed fresh cilantro



Preparation:
1.
Prepare barbecue grill for direct cooking. Prepare Mango Salsa; set aside.

2.
Grill peppers, skin-side down, over hot coals until blackened. Place in paper bag; seal. Steam 5 minutes; remove skin. If mushrooms are small, thread onto skewers. Grill mushrooms, covered, over medium coals about 2 minutes on each side or until tender and lightly browned. Cut peppers into 1/2-inch strips; slice mushrooms. Combine vegetables, onions, lemon juice and black pepper in medium bowl; set aside and keep warm.

3.
Place steak on grid over medium heat. Grill, uncovered, 17 to 21 minutes for medium-rare to medium or until desired doneness, turning once. Remove from grill and slice across the grain into 1/4-inch-thick strips. Combine with vegetable mixture. Grill tortillas on both sides about 1 minute or until warmed. Spoon one fourth of meat mixture down center of each tortilla. Roll to enclose filling; serve immediately with Mango Salsa.


Mango Salsa: In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups diced peeled mangoes, 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper, 1/4 cup diced red onion, 1 minced seeded serrano pepper, 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, 1 tablespoon lime juice and 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger.
