Method

Prepare the Steak

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cumin. Add the steak and coat it well with the marinade. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Steak

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly.

Prepare the Onions

  1. 3

    Sauté the Onions

    In the same skillet, add a little olive oil if needed. Add the sliced onion and sauté over medium heat until they become translucent and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.

Assemble the Acapulco Cheesesteak

  1. 4

    Fill the Tortillas

    Lay a flour tortilla flat and place a portion of sliced steak in the center. Top with sautéed onions and drizzle with nacho cheese sauce.

  2. 5

    Wrap the Tortilla

    Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it from the bottom up to encase the filling. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

Serve

  1. 6

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the Acapulco Cheesesteaks with a side of lettuce, sour cream, pico de gallo, rice, and beans on the side.
