Allergens

None

Ingredients

• 8 oz beef skirt steak
• 1 large onion, sliced into thin strips
• 2 bell peppers, sliced into thin strips
• 4 ears of corn, shucked
• 2 tablespoons chipotle chili powder
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• Juice and zest of 2 limes
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• For guacamole: 2 ripe avocados, 1 small red onion, 2 tomatoes, 1 jalapeno, salt, and lime juice
• For pico de gallo: 3 ripe tomatoes, 1 small white onion, 1 jalapeno, cilantro, salt, and lime juice
• 4 oz shredded cheese (such as cheddar or Monterey Jack)

Instructions

1. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the skirt steak, sliced onion, and bell peppers. In a small bowl, mix chipotle chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, lime zest and juice, salt, pepper, and olive oil to create the marinade.
2. Pour the marinade over the steak and vegetables in the bag, ensuring they are evenly coated. Close the bag and let it marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
3. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and shake off any excess, reserving the marinade. Grill the steak until it reaches desired doneness, 4 6 minutes per side for medium rare. Set aside to rest for a few minutes.
4. Grill the onion and bell pepper strips, along with the corn, brushing them occasionally with reserved marinade. Cook for 8 10 minutes or until tender and charred.
5. Prepare the guacamole by mashing avocados with diced red onion, tomatoes, jalapeno, salt, and lime juice to taste. Set aside. Make pico de gallo by finely chopping tomatoes, white onion, jalapeno, cilantro, and seasoning with salt and lime juice.
6. Slice the rested steak into thin strips and serve alongside the grilled onion, bell pepper strips, corn, guacamole, pico de gallo, and a generous sprinkling of shredded cheese.

Chef’s Insight

Use fresh lime juice instead of bottled for a more authentic flavor.

Notes

Make sure to let the steak rest after grilling for optimal tenderness.
