Instructions:
Instructions: With a mortar and pestle mash 3 of the garlic cloves and the salt to a paste. In a glass baking dish combine the paste, lime juice, 3 tablespoons of the oil, cumin seed, jalapenos, and pepper. Add the steak and let marinate at room temperature, turning twice, for 2 hours. The steak can be marinated and kept refrigerated, covered, overnight.

In a large skillet cook the bell peppers and onions with salt and pepper to taste in the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until tender. Add the remaining garlic clove, minced, and cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the coriander. Toss to combine and keep warm on a platter.

Drain the steak and pat dry. Cook on a preheated grill pan for 3 to 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare meat. Transfer it to a cutting board and let it stand for 3 minutes. Cut diagonally into pieces and transfer with any accumulated juices to the platter. Wrap the steak and vegetable mixture in the tortillas and serve with salsa and guacamole.
