  1. In a small bowl, combine marinade ingredients. Thinly slice meat across the grain and place in a shallow glass baking dish. Pour over marinade and toss to evenly coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until the next day, turning occasionally.
  2. Place a wok or heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and when wok is hot enough to make a drop of water bounce, add onions and peppers to the pan. Stir-fry for 4 to 5 minutes, until vegetables are soft.
  3. Increase heat to high. Add meat and marinade to the wok and stir-fry until meat is lightly browned, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  4. To serve, divide the meat and vegetables among tortillas. Add hot sauce and yogurt to taste. Roll up tortillas to enclose filling; eat out of hand.
