Recipe by The Mission, Scottsdale, AZ Any fairly thin cut of beef will work with this marinade; try flank or New York strip.
1 pound skirt steak, silver skin removed, cut into 6" pieces
1 12-ounce can pale lager (such as Tecate)
4 tablespoons fresh lime juice, divided
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more
1/4 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 large plum tomatoes, cored
1/2 canned chipotle chile in adobo, coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, plus leaves for serving
8 fresh corn tortillas
Avocado slices, crumbled Cotija cheese, and lime wedges (for serving)
Combine steak, beer, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a resealable plastic bag. Seal; chill 3 hours.
Cook onion, garlic, and oil in a small skillet over medium heat until soft and translucent, 5 minutes. Let cool.
Prepare a grill for high heat (if using charcoal, prepare two zones of heat, high and medium-high). Grill tomatoes over high heat, turning occasionally, until well charred but still holding their shape, 6 –8 minutes.
Reduce grill to medium-high heat (or use medium-high zone if using a charcoal grill). Remove steak from marinade and pat dry. Season with salt and pepper and grill until charred, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let steak rest 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, blend onion and garlic, tomatoes, chipotle, and remaining 3 tablespoons lime juice in a blender until smooth. Add chopped cilantro, season with salt, and pulse until just combined. Transfer salsa to a small bowl.
Grill tortillas until soft and beginning to char, about 30 seconds per side. Slice steak against the grain into 1/2" trips. Top each tortilla with a few pieces of steak, then some salsa, cilantro leaves, avocado, and Cotija cheese. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.
