Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Proteins

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the skirt steak, shrimp, and chorizo. Ensure all proteins are well-coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the proteins are marinating, chop the bell peppers, red onion, and jalapeño. Set aside. Chop the cilantro and reserve for garnish.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Proteins

    Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the proteins from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Cook the skirt steak for about 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until pink, and chorizo until fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the chopped bell peppers, red onion, and jalapeño. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Molcajete

    Slice the cooked steak into strips and arrange it on a serving platter. Add the sautéed vegetables, shrimp, and chorizo. Garnish with chopped cilantro.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Serve with warm corn tortillas, sliced avocado, and sour cream on the side, allowing guests to build their own tacos.
