Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp chopped cilantro
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 lb skirt or flank steak
Blue Cheese Aïoli
- (1) 12-oz container Delouis fils aïoli
- 1/4 tsp ground cumin
- 1/8 tsp cayanne pepper
- 1/3 cup Gorgonzola cheese
Assemble with
- 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 2 Roasted peppers, seeded, cut into strips
- (8) 8-inch flour tortillas
Directions:
Whisk together lime juice, oil, garlic, cilantro, and cayenne pepper in a
small bowl. Place the meat in a plastic bag, add the marinade, seal, and refrigerate.
Marinate two days for the skirt steak or one day for the flank steak.
In a food processor, blend the aïoli with the cumin, pepper, and Gorgonzola
cheese until smooth.
Preheat grill or grill pan. Grill steak 5 minutes per side. Let the meat
rest for 5 minutes to distribute the juices. Thinly slice meat on an angle
against the grain.
Assemble the tortillas. Top one tortilla with 1/2 cup cheese; add 1/4 of
the grilled sliced meat and 1/4 of the roasted red pepper strips. Top with
another tortilla and grill on both sides until grill marks appear and the
cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Serve immediately with
the Blue Cheese Aïoli.
Note: Extra Blue Cheese Aïoli sauce may be used as a condiment for fish,
meat, and vegetables.
