This recipe is 16 servings, I usually half it unless we are having company.
Ingredients
3 pounds flank steak
1/3 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup soy sauce
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 limes, juiced
1/2 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1 white onion, chopped
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 lime, juiced
2 large tomatoes, chopped
2 jalapeno peppers, chopped
1 white onion, quartered
4 cloves garlic, peeled
4 dried New Mexico chile pods
1 pinch salt and pepper to taste
1 (32 ounce) package corn tortillas
2 cups grated cotija cheese (optional)
2 limes, cut into wedges
Directions
Lay
the flank steak in a large glass baking dish. In a medium bowl, whisk
together the vinegar, soy sauce, 4 cloves of garlic, juice of two limes,
and olive oil. Season with salt, black pepper, white pepper, garlic
powder, chili powder, oregano, cumin and paprika. Whisk until well
blended, then pour over the steak in the dish. Turn over once to coat
both sides. Cover with plastic wrap, and marinate for 1 to 8 hours.
In
a small bowl, stir together 1 chopped white onion, cilantro, and the
juice of 1 lime. Set aside to use as a relish for the tacos.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Toast chile
pods in the skillet for a few minutes, then remove to a bowl of water
to soak for about 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230
degrees C).
Place the tomatoes, 1 onion, jalapenos, and 4 cloves of
garlic onto a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 20 minutes,
until toasted but not burnt. Place the roasted vegetables, and soaked chile pods into a blender or food processor, along with salt and pepper. Puree until smooth.
Heat
vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cut the
marinated flank steak into cubes or strips. Cook, stirring constantly,
until the meat is cooked through and most of the liquid has evaporated.
Warm
the tortillas in a skillet for about a minute on each side to make them
pliable. Tortillas may also be warmed in a microwave oven. Arrange two
or three tortillas on a plate, and lay a generous amount of beef over
them. Top with a sprinkle of the onion relish and a large spoonful of
the pureed salsa. Add as much cheese as you like. Garnish with lime
wedges, and serve.
