Ingredients

• 1 lb skirt steak (or flank steak)
• 2 tbsp lime juice
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 4 pieces corn tortillas
• 1.5 cups enchilada sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Oaxaca cheese)
• 1.5 cups refried beans
• 2 cups Mexican rice (pre-cooked)
• 2 tbsp fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
• 1 unit avocado slices (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, prepare the marinade by mixing lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Place the skirt steak in a zip-top bag or shallow dish, and pour the marinade over the steak. Ensure the steak is fully coated, and marinate for at least 20 minutes (or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor).

Step 3

While the steak is marinating, preheat the grill or a grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 4

Once preheated, grill the steak for 3-5 minutes per side, depending on your preferred level of doneness. Let the steak rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.

Step 5

While the steak is resting, warm the corn tortillas in a hot, dry skillet or over an open flame until lightly charred and pliable.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Fill each corn tortilla with a spoonful of refried beans, roll them tightly, and place them seam-side down in a baking dish.

Step 7

Pour enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle shredded cheese generously on top. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 8

To serve, plate the sliced steak alongside Mexican rice and the baked enchiladas. Garnish with fresh cilantro and avocado slices if desired.

Step 9

Enjoy your Mexican Style Tampiqueña Steak!
