We consider the problem of late-time isotropization in spatially homogeneous but anisotropic cosmological models when the source of the gravitational field consists of two non-interacting perfect fluids -- one tilted and one non-tilted. In particular, we study irrotational Bianchi type V models. By introducing appropriate dimensionless variables, a full global understanding of the state space of the gravitational field equations becomes possible. The issue of isotropization can then be addressed in a simple fashion. We also discuss implications for the cosmic ``no-hair'' theorem for Bianchi models when part of the source is a tilted fluid.
