• Heat a comal or cast-iron griddle over medium heat. Heat tortillas on comal, 1 or 2 at a time. Transfer to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while you warm remaining tortillas.
• Holding a sharp knife at a 45-degree angle, cut steak across the grain into thin strips. Place a warmed tortilla on work surface; top with 2 or 3 strips of steak and a generous spoonful of guacamole. Repeat process with remaining steak, tortillas, and guacamole; serve.

• Warm tortillas by placing them on the grill, for about 30 seconds, turning once. Or place 6 tortillas at a time between 2 moist paper towels and microwave for 45 seconds. Wrap in cloth napkin or place in a tortilla warmer to keep warm. Place the carved steak, warm tortillas, cabbage, cilantro, lime and Avocado Lime Salsa in serving dishes and let diners make their own tacos at the table.

CHILI LIME STEAK TACOS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Place the avocado, cilantro, lime juice, water, and salt in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, garlic, and lime juice.
• Rub the chili lime rub all over the steak in a thin, even layer.
• Grill the steak on either a grill or stove-top grill pan. To get the "X" grill marks, sear the steak for 1 minute, then adjust about 90 degrees and grill for another minute. Flip the steak when you've achieved desired grill marks and repeat the process on the other side.
• Allow the steak to rest for 5-10 minutes once taken off the heat.
• Slice the steak thinly, against the grain of the meat.
• Prepare the tacos by topping the corn tortillas with a few strips of meat, salsa, the avocado cilantro lime sauce, and cilantro, and serve.
• Enjoy!

CHILE-RUBBED SKIRT STEAK TACOS

Steps:

• On a work surface, crush garlic cloves using the flat side of a large knife; sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Place the flat side of the knife blade on top of the garlic and salt; press firmly, pulling knife toward you. Repeat until a paste forms; transfer to a small bowl. Add chile powder, brown sugar, paprika, cumin, pepper, espresso, and remaining tablespoon salt; stir to combine.
• Rub mixture all over skirt steak, and place in a large freezer bag to marinate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wrap tortillas in parchment-paper-lined aluminum foil; while grilling steak, bake tortillas until warmed through, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Preheat grill pan over high heat, or use an outdoor grill. Place steak on grill, and cook for 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve thinly sliced steak in warmed tortillas; top with salsa, cilantro, cheese, sour cream, lettuce, and lime wedges, if desired.

CHILE-RUBBED STEAK TACOS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine all the spice rub ingredients.
• Brush the lime juice on both sides of each piece of meat and rub both sides with the spice rub. (You may not need all of the spice rub.)
• Put the oil in a large, heavy skillet, preferably cast iron, and set it over medium-high heat until very hot. Cook the meat until it's well browned and just cooked through, 3 to 4 min. per side for medium rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 3 to 5 min. Holding a knife at a 45-degree angle, thinly slice the meat crosswise.
• Put the sliced steak in a heated dish, sprinkle with salt, and set on the table. Next to it set the hot tortillas, guacamole, pico de gallo, and tomatillo salsa so each person can assemble his or her own tacos.

CHIPOTLE SKIRT STEAK TACOS

Steps:

• Puree a single chipotle pepper (not the whole can) + 2 tsp of the adobo sauce with the onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, salt and pepper. Taste and add more chipotle if needed. Stir in the cilantro. Throw it all in a zip lock bag with the skirt steak for at least 2 hours. Grill medium-rare. Cut the skirt steak into thin strips across the grain. Serve with taco accompaniments.
• Note: I throw the corn tortillas directly on the grill 30 seconds, flip, add cheese, grill 30 seconds, remove. This melts the cheese oh-so-perfectly and chars the tortilla edges just a tiny bit for that crunch. Heating it also takes away some of the "rawness" that corn tortillas have when they are straight out of the bag.

GRILLED BEEF TACOS WITH PORCINI AND MORITA CHILI PEPPER

Steps:

• In a spice grinder, combine dried porcini mushrooms, 1/2 the chilies and smoked salt; pulse until finely ground.
• Pound the meat to a thickness of 1/3 inch, then rub with ground spice mixture; set aside.
• Heat a grill pan over high heat.
• Cut kernels from cob (you should have about 1 1/2 cups).
• Heat oil in a small skillet over medium heat; add thawed or fresh mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 to 8 minutes.
• Season mushrooms with salt and pepper; reduce heat to low to keep warm.
• Lightly grease grill pan and grill meat 2 minutes on each side for medium rare (cook longer, if desired, but take care not to toughen meat).
• Transfer steak to cutting board to rest.
• Reduce heat under gill pan to medium and cook corn 1 or 2 minutes, stirring, so that corn browns but does not burn; transfer to a bowl.
• Turn off heat and warm taco shells on grill.
• Cut skirt steak, against the grain, into 1/2 inch strips.
• To assemble: place a bed of cilantro or cabbage in each taco shell; layer in steak, mushrooms, and corn.
• Serve with your favorite salsa.
