Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
  • 2 chipotle chiles in adobo
  • 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 -8 ounces steaks, New York
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • lime juice, olive oil (optional)
  • 2 -4 flour tortillas, warmed slightly on the grill
  • guacamole
  • salsa

Method

  • In a small 2 cup measuring cup, or something similar size and shape, combine all the marinade ingredients.
  • Using an immersion blender, puree the marinade until smooth.
  • Transfer to a re-sealable plastic bag and add the steak, seal and shake to coat. Refrigerate the beef for 4 hours to tenderize and flavor the beef.
  • Prepare grill on med. high heat.
  • Drain the marinade from the beef. Lightly oil the grill. Season liberally with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Grill the steak over medium-high heat and cook for 4 minutes on each side and then transfer to a cutting board and let rest.
  • Once the beef is off the grill and resting, add the bell peppers and onions tossed with lime juice and olive oil, to a cast iron skillet ( I put the skillet onto the grill to preheat while cooking the steaks). Grill the mixture for 7 to 8 minutes until the vegetables are just barely limp.
  • When the peppers and onions are done cooking, remove the skillet and heat up the tortillas.
  • Place tortillas on the grill and let it char about 30 seconds, flip the tortilla and repeat on the second side.
  • Once heated and charred remove the tortilla to a clean tea towel and wrap to keep warm.
  • Thinly slice the steak against the grain on a diagonal.
  • To serve:
  • Spread some guacamole on a tortilla, top with a few slices of steak, peppers and onions, and salsa. Roll up the tortilla to enclose the filling.
  • May also be served with sour cream and shredded cheese.
