Instructions
Combine steak marinade ingredients (salt, cumin, garlic powder, oregano and black pepper) and rub over the steak. Place on a plate or platter, cover with saran wrap and refrigerate for several hours or all day.
PICO DE GALLO: Just before grilling, combine chopped tomato, chopped onion, jalapeno, lime juice and salt. Set aside for flavors to blend.
GUACAMOLE: While steak is grilling, mash the avocado in a small bowl with the tomato, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
GRILL STEAK: Heat a grill over high heat. Clean grates and spray with oil. Cook the steaks over high heat 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until the steak is cooked to your liking.
Set aside on a cutting board, cover with foil and let rest 5 minutes before slicing. Slice into thin strips.
To serve, fill each lettuce cups with 1 1/2 tablespoon of guacamole, top with steak and a little pico de gallo.
