Preparation

Step 1

1. Combine steak and all marinade ingredients in a large plastic storage bag or bowl. Marinate at least 1 hour or up to 24.

2. Remove meat from marinade.

3. Heat a grill, grill pan or large saute pan to high heat. Cook to desired doneness. Allow the meat to rest at least 10 minutes before thinly slicing against the grain.

4. To prepare the sauce, combine mayo, salt, chipotle peppers, garlic and salt, stirring to combine.

5. Place a tortilla in a pan over medium heat, and sprinkle with ¼ cup cheddar cheese on top. Cover with a second corn tortilla. Cook just until the cheese is melted, flipping once. The tortillas should be soft and pliable, not crispy.

7. To assemble, top the tortillas with a spoonful of guacamole, a few slices of steak, then top with pico de gallo, cotija cheese, and some of the sauce. Garnish with cilantro if desired.

9. Eat immediately and enjoy!
