Ingredients:

2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
3 tablespoons lime juice, divided
Lime wedges for garnish
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, divided
2 bunches scallions, trimmed
3 poblano peppers (see Ingredient Note)
3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon ground ancho chile (see Ingredient Note)
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 (1 1/4 pound) skirt steak, trimmed of fat
Hot sauce
12 (6 inch) corn tortillas, warmed (see Cooking Tip)
Method:
Preheat grill to high.
Mash avocados in a medium bowl with a fork. Stir in cilantro, 2 tablespoons lime
juice, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
Brush scallions and poblanos with 2 teaspoons oil. Combine ancho chile, cumin,
1/2 teaspoon salt and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Rub
both sides of steak with the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and the spice mixture.
Oil the grill rack (see Tip). Grill the poblanos, turning often, until wilted
and charred, 8 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl and cover with a plate
to trap the heat. Grill the scallions, turning frequently, until softened and
lightly charred, 2 to 4 minutes. Grill the steak 2 to 3 minutes per side for
medium-rare. Transfer the steak to a cutting board, tent with foil and let rest.
Meanwhile, slice the scallions into 1-inch pieces and transfer to a serving
dish. Peel as much skin as possible from the peppers, discard the stems and
seeds, and slice into 1/2-inch-wide strips; transfer to the serving dish. Add
the remaining 1 tablespoon lime juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt to the vegetables
and toss to combine. Slice the steak very thinly, then chop into small pieces.
Serve the steak and vegetables with the mashed avocado, lime wedges, hot sauce
and tortillas.
