Ingredients
Quantities are for 4 servings.
- 1 1/2 lb Skirt steak
- 3 each Poblano peppers
- 1 each Yellow onion
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 3 each Limes
- 12 each Corn tortillas
- 1 bunch Cilantro
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tbsp Chili powder
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 4 oz Cotija cheese, crumbled
- 2 each Avocado
Instructions
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the juice of 2 limes, the minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Add the skirt steak, turn to coat, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator at least 20 minutes (up to 2 hours).
- Slice the poblano peppers and onion into thin strips. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the peppers and onion 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly charred. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the used marinade. Heat the same skillet (or a grill pan) over high heat until very hot. Sear the steak 3-4 minutes per side for medium doneness, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part reads 145°F.
- Transfer the steak to a cutting board, tent loosely with foil, and let it rest 3 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet, about 20 seconds per side, or wrapped in foil in a 350°F oven for 8-10 minutes.
- Fill the tortillas with sliced steak and peppers, then top with cotija, sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lime from the remaining lime.
