Combine 1/2 lime juice, 1/2 cup cilantro, 1/2 cup olive oil, soy
sauce, tequila, 7 cloves garlic, lime zest, cumin, oregano and
pepper in a bowl.

Place the tri-tip(s) in a casserole dish and pour the marinade to
cover both sides.

Marinate at least 4 hours – better if overnight. Turn occasionally.
Grill the tri-tip over med-high heat until cooked to your desire ~
8 minutes per side for med-rare. Cover and allow to rest for
10 minutes before slicing.
For the sauce, combine the sour cream, avocado and remaining
ingredients and whip with a fork.

Top steak with sauce to serve along with rolls.
