    Fantastic recipe. I of course altered slightly as we have young children whose tummies would not like the spicy peppers, but everyone loved it. I made a lime cilantro rice to serve the steak over instead of the fried tostadas and eliminated the oil in the beans and used chicken stock instead to make it a little healthier. I also hid more veggies in the meal with sweet peppers in the beans and corn in the salsa. My husband said it was the best skirt steak he ever ate, and he is a big steak fan so that was saying a lot. Even our three-year old ate every bit on her plate. It can be a challenge sometimes to make a gluten-free meal everyone will eat and this meal is PERFECT!!!!

    Excellent recipe! I made it exactly as written, except I cooked 12 corn tortilla shells just until soft, because I knew my family would want more than 4! The peppers and mango were an excellent combination, and it tasted great with the black beans.

    Not sure what happened with "NO Stars" review but this dish was excellent. I used sirloin tip instead of skirt steak at the suggestion of my butcher. Glad I listened to him because it was great. The salsa alone is delicious. Its the perfect summer dish. Try it and I'm sure you love it! Its so great that Melissa won. It shows that some of us 'home cooks' are not half bad!

    This dishes flavors blend together perfectly, I was skeptical as this recipie calls for many things I dont really care for. But I made the dish without alterations anyway and every flavor compliments the ohers so well. The marinade is spectacular and i plan on using it on other dishes. The only thing i did different was add an extra habenero because the ones I had were pretty small and I dont mind spice. to my surprise this dish is hardly spicy at all despite all the peppers, so dont let them turn you away from this dish. For people who like to try dishes new or some what exotic to them, this is a great dish.

    I did not give this recipe any stars because it has to be one of the worst things I have ever cooked. Where did she come up with the idea that she was a cook? Never will even look at one of her recipes never mind trying one. Again horrible, horrible horrible.
