Slice the top sirloin steak into thin strips and toss in a bowl with the sea salt, black pepper, chili powder, and ground cumin.
Heat the avocado oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the seasoned steak strips to the skillet and sear until well-browned and cooked through, approximately 4 minutes, then transfer to a plate.
In the same skillet, add the sliced red bell pepper and yellow onion, sautéing until they are tender and have developed a slight char, about 5 minutes.
Remove the vegetables from the skillet and wipe the surface clean with a paper towel.
Place 1/2 large wheat tortilla in the skillet over medium heat, sprinkling half of the Monterey Jack cheese over one half of the tortilla.
Layer the cooked steak and sautéed vegetables over the cheese, top with the remaining cheese, and fold the tortilla in half.
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until the tortilla is golden-brown and the cheese is completely melted.
