Method

Prepare the Flank Steak

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a bowl, combine the flank steak, olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Rub the mixture all over the steak. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Steak

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Grill or sear the marinated flank steak for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Make the Sauce

  1. 3

    Prepare the Tomatillos

    Remove the husks from the tomatillos and rinse them under cold water. Place them in a pot with enough water to cover and boil for about 10 minutes until softened.

  2. 4

    Blend the Sauce

    In a blender, combine the boiled tomatillos, fresh cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, and salt. Blend until smooth and adjust seasoning to taste.

Assemble the Enchiladas

  1. 5

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet or microwave to make them pliable. This will help prevent them from tearing during assembly.

  2. 6

    Fill the Tortillas

    Slice the rested flank steak into thin strips. Take a tortilla, fill it with a few strips of steak and a sprinkle of shredded cheese. Roll it up tightly and place it seam-side down in a baking dish.

  3. 7

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    Repeat the filling process with the remaining tortillas. Once all enchiladas are in the baking dish, pour the tomatillo sauce over the top and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.

Bake

  1. 8

    Bake the Enchiladas

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

  2. 9

    Serve

    Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, then serve topped with sour cream and additional cilantro if desired.
