Marinated Skirt Steak

Sautéed Peppers & Onions

Guacamole

Pico de Gallo

Mexican Rice

Charro Beans

Method

Marinated Skirt Steak

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well. Add the skirt steak to the marinade, ensuring it is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Grill the Steak

    Preheat the grill to high heat. Remove the skirt steak from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.

Sautéed Peppers & Onions

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced bell peppers and onions. Season with salt and black pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

Guacamole

  1. 4

    Prepare the Guacamole

    In a bowl, mash the ripe avocados. Stir in lime juice, garlic powder, salt, chopped cilantro, and diced tomato until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Pico de Gallo

  1. 5

    Make Pico de Gallo

    In a bowl, combine diced tomatoes, onion, minced jalapeño, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and let sit for at least 10 minutes for flavors to meld.

Mexican Rice

  1. 6

    Cook the Rice

    In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent. Add the rice and stir for 2 minutes. Pour in chicken broth and tomato sauce, add salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes or until rice is cooked and liquid is absorbed.

Charro Beans

  1. 7

    Prepare Charro Beans

    In a pot, cook diced bacon over medium heat until crispy. Add diced onion, minced garlic, and diced jalapeño. Sauté until the onion is translucent. Stir in cooked pinto beans, cilantro, and salt. Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, allowing flavors to combine.
