Make the charred salsa by blending smoked vegetables with lime and cilantro.

In a bowl, squeeze the juice of 3 limes and chop 1 bundle of cilantro (using half).

Mix the lime juice, cilantro, and sour cream together, adding smoked paprika to taste.

Marinate the flank steak in lime juice, onion, and bell peppers for about 4 hours.

Sprinkle competition barbecue rub on both sides of the marinated flank steak and mix it around.

Place the steak on the smoker side of the grill.

Cook the steak until blood starts to come up on the top, then flip it over to cook the other side.

Once cooked, chop the steak into small pieces.

Heat corn tortillas on the griddle side of the grill, using 2 tortillas per taco to prevent them from falling apart.

Assemble the tacos by adding chopped steak, charred salsa, cilantro lime crema, avocado, pickled onions, and cilantro on top.

Finish with crumbled cheese on top of the tacos.
