2 tbsp ground red chili pepper ( ancho or new mexico)
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tbsp chopped fresh oregano
2 tsp salt
1 tbsp fresh coarse ground black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
24 corn tortillas ( handmade or the freshest you can find)

1 tsp chopped fresh oregano

Directions:

Mix all marinade ingredients.
Pierce the steaks all over, on both sides.
Pour over marinade, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate over night.
Lime pickled red onions: Mix all the ingredients and let marinate for at least 3 hours at room temperature.
Will keep for up to 4 days in the fridge.
About an hour before grilling the meat remove the steaks from the refrigerator.
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
Remove meat from marinade and pat dry with paper towels.
Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Cook over hot coals with mesquite until done to your liking.
Set the meat aside and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
Briefly heat each tortilla, either over the direct heat of the grill or in a heavy skillet.
Only enough to make them pliable.
Place 2 pieces of cheese on each tortilla, fold in half.
Wrap these (about 6 each) in foil and place in the preheated oven just long enough to barely melt the cheese, approximately 20 minutes.
To serve, cut the steaks against the grain into strips 3 to 4 inches long and about 1/4 thick.
Set out the fire roasted chiles, pickled onions, tortilla/cheese setups, guacamole and salsa.
Fill the tortillas and enjoy.
