Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 pounds skirt steak
  • 2 tablespoons Mexican Street Corn Infused Olive Oil Blend
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1/2 cup white onion finely diced
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 lime cut into wedges
  • 1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco
  • 1 small avocado sliced

Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowl For the marinade
  • 1 Cast Iron Skillet Or grill pan
  • 1 Tongs For turning steak
  • 1 Cutting board For resting and slicing
  • 1 Chef’s knife For trimming and slicing
  • 1 set Measuring spoons For the marinade ingredients

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Mexican Street Corn Infused Olive Oil Blend, lime juice, salt, black pepper, cumin, chili powder, and garlic.
  2. Add the skirt steak and coat it well, then let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes while you prep the toppings.
  3. Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat until very hot.
  4. Cook the steak for 3 to 5 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until browned outside and cooked to your liking.
  5. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and rest it for 5 minutes.
  6. Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a flame until soft and lightly charred.
  7. Slice the steak thinly against the grain.
  8. Fill each tortilla with steak, onion, cilantro, queso fresco, and avocado.
  9. Finish with a squeeze of lime and a light drizzle of any remaining oil from the marinade bowl if desired.

Notes

For the best texture, do not overcook the steak. If the tortillas seem dry, warm them one at a time in a lightly oiled skillet so they stay flexible. Use the featured blend as both marinade flavor and finishing accent for the strongest corn-forward note.
