Place pork steaks in a plastic bag, non-metal bowl or sealable container. Combine chili powder, cumin, coriander, lime juice, oil and water; pour over pork; seal or cover and refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight, turning meat occasionally. Preheat barbecue on high; reduce temperature to medium. Discard marinade. Place pork steaks on the grill along with halved peppers and onion, cut side down. Close barbecue cover and grill pork 8 to 10 minutes per side. Remove from barbecue; cut into thin strips and keep warm. When softened and slightly charred, remove peppers and onion from barbecue, slip skin off peppers and slice both vegetables. Meanwhile, wrap tortillas in foil and warm on top rack of barbecue 5 minutes. Spoon pork strips, sliced onion and peppers evenly down centre of each tortilla. Sprinkle with tomatoes, shredded cabbage and cheese; roll up to enclose. Serve with salsa, if desired. Makes 4 servings Manitoba Pork Council www.manitobapork.com
