- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/2 cup sour cream

Cooking Tips:
- Make sure to let the steak rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing it. This will help the juices redistribute and keep the meat tender.

Cooking Process:
1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, chipotle powder, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Brush the mixture over both sides of the skirt steak.
4. Grill the steak for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
5. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes, then slice it thinly against the grain.
6. To assemble the wraps, place a tortilla on a plate and add some shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and a few slices of steak.
7. Drizzle some sour cream over the top, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
8. Roll up the tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides as you go.
9. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
