Ingredients:
- 16 corn tortillas (7-inch)
- shredded lettuce , for serving
- chopped white onion , for serving
- shredded monterey jack cheese , for serving
- pico de gallo, recipe to post separately. alternatively, use your favorite
- 2 limes, cut into wedges for serving
Directions:
- In a mortar and pestle or bowl mash together garlic, jalapeno, cilantro, salt and pepper to make a paste. Transfer the paste to a glass jar with a tight fitting lid. Add the lime juice, orange juice, vinegar and oil. Shake to make sure that the marinade is well combined. (Note: if marinating meat in a plastic bag you can transfer directly to the bag and mush to combine ingredients in the bag before adding meat.).
- Place steak in a plastic bag or other container of your choice for marinating. Add the marinade making sure the meat is coated. Refrigerate and allow to marinate for about 4 – 6 hours. (I don’t recommend marinating longer than that as the fibers of your meat will break down resulting in mushy meat.).
- Preheat an outdoor grill or a ridged grill pan over medium-high flame. (You can also use a broiler if desired.) Brush the grill or broiler plate with a little oil to prevent the meat from sticking.
- Remove meat from marinade. Discard marinade. Season on both sides with salt and pepper to taste. Grill (or broil) the steak for 7 to 10 minutes per side, turning once, until medium-rare. Remove from heat and let rest on a cutting board for about 7 minutes.
- Meanwhile, warm the tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side in a dry skillet or on the grill until pliable. Remove to plate. Cover to keep warm.
- Thinly slice meat diagonally across the grain.
- To serve: Stack 2 of the warm tortillas. Place about 4 oz. of the beef in the center. Add lettuce, onion and cheese as desired. Top with a spoonful or two of the Pico de Gallo and garnish with a lime wedge. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
- ***NOTE***: The marinade recipe for the steak will make about 1 1/4 cups and can be used for chicken, too. If not used as a marinade for meat it can also be used as a table-side condiment. NEVER re-use marinade that has been in contact with raw meat as a condiment. You can become sick from the harmful bacteria.
