Method

Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Skirt Steak

    In a bowl, mix the olive oil, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the skirt steak and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Steak

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

Enchilada Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Enchiladas

    In a skillet, warm the red enchilada sauce. Dip each corn tortilla in the sauce, fill it with shredded cheese, roll it up, and place it in a baking dish. Repeat for the remaining tortillas. Pour any remaining sauce on top and sprinkle more cheese.

  2. 4

    Bake Enchiladas

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the enchiladas for about 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Vegetable Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Rajas

    Slice bell peppers and onions. In a skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium heat, add the sliced vegetables, and sauté until they are soft and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 6

    Prepare the Queso Fresco

    Grill the queso fresco on the grill or in a pan for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Final Assembly

  1. 7

    Assemble the Plate

    On a plate, place a portion of Mexican rice and black beans. Slice the grilled skirt steak and place it next to the rice. Add the grilled queso fresco, sautéed rajas, and a couple of enchiladas on the side.

  2. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish the dish with chopped cilantro and slices of avocado. Serve with warm corn tortillas and guacamole on the side.
