Instructions

Steak Marinade Directions

In a mixing bowl add olive oil, freshly squeezed lime juice, taco seasoning, diced jalapeno and roughly ripped cilantro. Mix the ingredients together.
Pound the steak to get an even surfacethroughout at about 1/4 inch thick.
Place it in a large ziplock bag and pour the marinade over the steak. Close it shut and place it in the fridge for at least an hour while you prep the rest.

Homemade Guacamole Directions

In a mixing bowl, add avocado, diced red onion, roma tomatoes, jalapeno, freshly squeezed lime juice and Dad’s All Purpose rub. Mush the ingredients together using a potato masher. It’s a great kitchen hack if you don’t have a molcajete.

Steak Quesadilla Directions

Preheat the griddle to a high heat and place the entire marinade flank steak on the flat top.
Flip every 2 minutes to ensure an even cook all around. Remove off the griddle at 130 degrees internal temperature and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Once rested, slice the steak into small pieces.
On the same griddle top, place a large flour tortilla followed by a generous layer of shredded chihuahua cheese. Place the grilled steak slices over the cheese and cover with another layer of cheese. Close the quesadilla with another flour tortilla and allow the cheese to melt. 2-3minutes and it's time to flip the quesadilla. Grill the other side 2minutes and the steak quesadilla is ready to eat. Serve with a spoonful of the homemade guacamole and drizzle with some Mexican sour-cream.
