small serving bowl.

into a semicircle. Grill the meat until it is cooked slightly less
than the way you like it. Meanwhile, saute' the onions in th eoil
until they are soft. Use a large frying pan that will have enough
room for the meat later.
<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.

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