semicircle. Grill the meat until it is cooked slightly less than the way

<5> After removing the meat from the grill, slice it into strips that are
cut acrosss the grain. The strips should be 3-4 inches long and 1/4 inch
thick. Add the strips to the onions in the pan, and fry for another minute
or two.
<6> Place on the table the pan full of meat, the bowl of pico de gallo, a
basket with the tortillas, a bowl with the guacamole, and a bowl with the
grated cheese. You amy wish to provide picante sauce in addition.

some of the meat onto it, then adding their choice of each of the other
ingredients in whatever combination they want.
