Description
These Grilled Skirt Steak and Elote Tacos are a delicious and flavorful twist on traditional tacos. Tender grilled skirt steak is paired with charred elote (Mexican street corn) for a mouthwatering combination that will satisfy your taco cravings.
Ingredients
For the Skirt Steak:
- 1 pound skirt steak
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Elote:
- 4 ears of corn, husked
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup cotija cheese, crumbled
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
For the Tacos:
- 8 small corn or flour tortillas
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- Marinate the Skirt Steak: In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Rub the marinade all over the skirt steak and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Grill the Skirt Steak: Preheat the grill to high heat. Grill the skirt steak for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing against the grain.
- Prepare the Elote: Grill the husked corn on the cob until charred. Brush with mayonnaise, sprinkle with cotija cheese, chili powder, and chopped cilantro.
- Assemble the Tacos: Warm the tortillas on the grill. Slice the skirt steak thinly. Fill each tortilla with steak slices, elote, avocado slices, and a squeeze of lime juice.
Notes
- If you prefer a spicier elote, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce.
- Feel free to customize your tacos with additional toppings like salsa, hot sauce, or extra cheese.
