Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salsa de Ajo

    In a blender, combine garlic, tomatoes, onion, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and set aside.

  2. 2

    Grill the Steak

    Season the steak with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Grill the steak over medium-high heat for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Tlayuda

    On a large skillet or griddle, warm the blue corn tortillas over medium heat. Top each tortilla with a portion of grilled steak, shredded Oaxacan quesillo, and watercress. Cook until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is slightly crispy.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove from heat, slice into wedges, and serve with the salsa de ajo on the side.
