Thinly slice the raw sirloin steak against the grain into bite-sized strips and season evenly with the sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat 0.25 tbsp of olive oil in a large cast-iron or stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the steak strips to the skillet in a single layer and sear for 3 minutes until deeply browned and caramelized; remove the steak from the pan and set aside.
Add the remaining 0.25 tbsp of olive oil to the same skillet and sauté the sliced bell peppers and red onions for 5 minutes until they are tender-crisp and slightly charred.
Wipe the skillet clean and return it to medium heat, then place the whole wheat tortilla in the center.
Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese on one side of the tortilla, then layer on the cooked steak and sautéed vegetables.
Top with the remaining cheese and fold the tortilla in half, pressing down lightly with a spatula.
Cook for 2 minutes per side until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is completely melted and gooey.
Remove from the heat, let rest for 1 minute, and slice into wedges before serving.
