Method

Meat Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Skirt Steak

    In a bowl, season the skirt steak with salt, pepper, and any additional spices you prefer. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Skirt Steak

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated skirt steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until you reach your desired doneness. Remove from the grill and let it rest before slicing.

Enchilada Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Enchiladas

    Heat the red enchilada sauce in a saucepan. Soften the corn tortillas in a separate pan or microwave. Dip each tortilla in the sauce, fill with shredded cheese, roll them up, and place them in a baking dish.

  2. 4

    Bake the Enchiladas

    Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle additional cheese on top. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Grilled Queso Fresco Preparation

  1. 5

    Grill the Queso Fresco

    Slice the queso fresco into thick slabs. Grill on medium heat for about 2-3 minutes on each side until it has grill marks and is slightly softened.

Rajas Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare Rajas

    Char the poblano peppers over the grill or on a stovetop until the skin is blistered. Remove the skin, seeds, and slice them into strips. Slice the onion thinly.

  2. 7

    Sauté Rajas

    In a skillet, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté until translucent. Add the poblano strips and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.

Rice and Beans Preparation

  1. 8

    Cook Mexican Rice

    In a pot, prepare the Mexican rice according to package instructions or your preferred recipe.

  2. 9

    Heat Black Beans

    In a small saucepan, heat the black beans over medium heat until warm, stirring occasionally.

Assembly and Serving

  1. 10

    Plate the Tampequeña

    On a large plate, serve a portion of sliced skirt steak alongside a baked enchilada, grilled queso fresco, sautéed rajas, Mexican rice, and black beans. Garnish with chopped cilantro and a side of guacamole. Serve with warm corn tortillas.
