In a small bowl, mix together 2tsp of the oil, smoked paprika, cumin and seasoning together. Combine the kale or spinach, peppers, onion and lemon or lime juice and remaining oil. Season, toss together and set aside for later.

Heat a non-stick pan until hot. Put the steaks on a plate and brush with the seasoning mix on both sides and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, then slice thinly.

To assemble the wraps, place the flour tortillas on a clean work surface and spread with the avocado, vegetables and beef. Top with a spoonful of yoghurt and herbs. Fold up to make a neat roll, secure with a cocktail stick, if required, and serve immediately with a crisp salad.

Tip: If preferred, for extra heat, add 1 small chopped red chilli to the avocado, or use a prepared guacamole instead.
