Toasted Beef Tacos

List of Ingredients
- 2 lbs flank steak, trimmed of excess fat
- 1 cup canned pickled jalapenos, including the carrots and onions that come with it
- extra virgin olive oil
- 1 T salt
- 1 T black pepper
- 16 corn tortillas
- 1 medium white onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/4 cup salsa
- 2 limes, cut in wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Lay the flank steak on a flat surface and cover it with the jalapeno mixture, then roll the meat up like a pinwheel. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour or up to 8 hours, so the flavors can sink in the meat.
- Preheat an outdoor grill or a ridged grill pan over medium-high flame (you can also use a broiler).
- Brush the grates with a little oil to prevent sticking.
- Unroll the flank steak and scrape off the jalapeno mixture. Season the steak on both sides with salt and pepper. Grill (or broil) for 7 to 10 minutes per side, burning once, until medium-rare.
- Remove to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to settle, then slice across the grain into 1/4" thick slices.
- Heat a large dry skillet over a medium flame. Warm the tortillas for 30 seconds on each side, until toasty and pliable.
- To make the tacos, stack 2 warm tortillas, lay about 4 oz of beef down the center, and sprinkle with some onion and cilantro.
- Drizzle 1 1/2 tsp of salsa on top of each taco and garnish with lime wedges.
