Make the pea guacamole and tomato salsa no more than an hour or two before you plan to serve them. Otherwise they will lose their bright colour and flavour.

7. If necessary, add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan. Add the onion, green pepper, garlic and spices. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until just tender.
8. Tip the meat back into the pan and stir to warm through.
9. Place a warm tortilla on a plate. Spoon some of the steak mixture into the middle. Wrap the tortilla round the steak, tucking in the bottom. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
