Instructions:

Make Marinade: In a large bowl or resealable plastic bag, combine garlic,
salt, lime juice, jalapeño, cumin and olive oil; whisk together. Add steak
pieces to marinade; coat well. Marinate, refrigerated at least 1 hour.

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Wrap tortillas in foil; place in oven to warm 15
minutes before serving.

Remove steak from marinade; discard marinade. Grill 5 inches over hot
coals (or over medium-high heat) 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare
doneness; set aside.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat canola oil. Cook bell
peppers and onion 5 minutes, until vegetables are softened.

Slice steak thinly across the grain. To assemble fajitas, spread tortillas
with salsa, top with steak slices and vegetable mixture, sour cream, and
cilantro. Fold over and serve.
