Steps

  1. Add the garlic, orange and lime juice, soy sauce, Maggi, onion, jalapeño, cilantro, chili powder, smoked paprika, oregano, cumin, salt, pepper, and avocado oil to a blender. Blend until smooth.

  2. Pour the marinade over the skirt steak and coat it well. Marinate for several hours; the audio recommends leaving it overnight to absorb the flavor.

  3. Preheat a grill over high heat. Grill the steak for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until charred.

  4. Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest. Then slice it thinly against the grain.

  5. Grease a griddle. Place the flour tortillas on it and top them with Chihuahua cheese.

  6. Add the sliced steak and a generous spoonful of shishito chile chimichurri to the cheese-topped tortillas.

  7. Fold the tortillas and cook them on the griddle until crisp and the cheese has melted.

Notes

The quantities of tortillas and chimichurri are not specified. The shishito chile chimichurri recipe is not included in the publication. The description says to marinate the steak for a few hours; the audio recommends leaving it overnight.
