  1.

Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit.  Scoop out the flesh into a medium bowl and mash with a fork along with the juice of two of the lime wedges.  Add half of the cilantro, diced red onion and pinch of the smashed garlic.  Stir to combine (replace the pit to help from browning and cover until ready to use).
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tbsp oil.  Thinly slice the steak across the grain into 1/4-inch strips and season with the chili powder, cumin, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper.  Place into the pan and cook, stirring occasionally for 2-4 minutes.  Remove from the pan to a plate and cover loosely.  Reserve the fond in the pan.
  4. In the same skillet add the sliced onions and garlic.  Cook while stirring 1-2 minutes; season with 1/4 tsp each salt and pepper and then add the bell pepper slices cooking another 2 minutes.  Add 1 tbsp water and the reserved meat and any juices back to the pan.  Heat until warmed through; 1 minute.  Plate and serve topped with the guacamole.
