  • Fresh lime juice

For the salsa:

  • 4 puya chiles
  • 3 árbol chiles

Ranchero Steak

Directions
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil. Add the beef and season with salt, black pepper, and 2 tablespoons of Spanglish Asadero Ranchero Steak seasoning. Mix well to evenly coat the meat. Cover and cook over medium-low heat until the meat is fully cooked and its juices have reduced.
  2. While the meat cooks, prepare the guacamole. Mash the avocado in a molcajete or bowl, then add salt, black pepper, chopped onion, cilantro, and fresh lime juice. Mix until well combined.
  3. To make the salsa, boil the tomatillos, puya chiles, and árbol chiles until softened. Transfer them to a blender with the garlic and salt, then blend until smooth.
  4. Once the meat is almost done, push it to one side of the skillet. Add a little more oil to the empty side and cook the sliced onion. Season with a little black pepper and sauté until the onions become soft and translucent.
  5. To assemble the quesatacos, lightly grease a hot griddle or skillet with oil. Place one corn tortilla on the griddle, sprinkle with shredded cheese, then top with a second tortilla. Cook until the cheese melts, then flip and cook the other side until lightly golden and crispy.
  6. Fill each cheesy tortilla with the guacamole, cooked steak, sautéed onions, and salsa.
