• Remove the peppers and onions. Add a bit of butter to the skillet and place a flour tortilla in the skillet on top of the melted butter. Layer half the tortilla with cheese, steak, peppers and onions and sliced jalapeños. Fold the tortilla in half. Grill on both sides until cheese is melted. Repeat with all four tortillas.

Steps:

• Stir together the sugar, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small mixing bowl to make the dry rub for the steak.
