Transfer the marinade into a large freezer bag. Add the steak and marinate in the fridge for at least 4 hours or maximum overnight.
• Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly coat with canola oil. Pull the steak out of the marinate and grill until charred and nice and crusty, 5 to 7 minutes a side. Remove and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Slice the meat thinly against the grain.
• For the sandwich build: Place the tortilla flat and smear on even layer of Cilantro Pesto. Sprinkle with tomatoes and pile on the steak. Wrap it up tight and eat whole, or slice in half on the bias -- just don't forget to dunk it in plenty of Charred Salsa.
