Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Cook ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Add chopped onions and bell peppers to the skillet, cooking until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in cumin and chili powder, cooking for an additional minute.

Warm tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds per side until pliable.

Layer ground beef mixture onto each tortilla.

Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the beef mixture.

Top with pico de gallo, jalapeños, and cilantro.

Fold tortillas in half and return to the grill for 2-3 minutes until cheese melts.

Serve with sour cream and guacamole on the side.
