Ingredients

  • 1 cup roughly chopped garlic (approximately 3 bulbs)
  • 3/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (approximately 8 large limes)
  • 1/2 cup clear tequila
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 bunch roughly chopped cilantro, leaves and stems
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
  • 1 serrano pepper, seeded and diced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1 tablespoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 1/2 to 2 pounds flank steak
  • 12 corn tortillas, wrapped in foil

Garnishes:

  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro leaves
  • 1 bunch radishes, cleaned, ends cut and sliced
  • 1/3 cup grated queso fresco cheese
  • 2 ripe avocados, seeded and sliced
  • 3 vine ripened tomatoes, sliced in wedges
  • Hot sauce

Directions

Combine the garlic, lime juice, tequila, soy sauce, cilantro, peppers, cumin, and black pepper in a resealable plastic gallon bag. Add the steak and let marinate in refrigerator for 2 hours. Remove from refrigerator, let marinate at room temperature another 30 to 45 minutes.

Prepare grill to medium-high heat. Remove steak from marinade, reserving marinade. Put marinade in small sauce pot and bring to a boil, then strain and reserve. Put tortillas on the corner of the grill and flip package a few times to heat through while steak is cooking

Place steak on the grill, cook for 4 minutes, turn 180 degrees, and cook for 3 minutes more (to create cross grill marks). Flip over and finish cooking for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on desired doneness. Remove from grill to a cutting board, and let rest, lightly covered, for 5 minutes. Slice against grain; serve immediately with reserved marinade, garnishes, tortillas, and hot sauce.

    Great recipe but Guy needs to brush up on his math! Turn 90 degrees, not 180 for a crisscross pattern!
