Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Sausage

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the Mexican sausage and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes. Break it up into smaller pieces while cooking.

  2. 2

    Grill the Steak

    Season the steak with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear the steak over high heat for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a flame until they are soft and pliable.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Campechano

    On each warm tortilla, layer the cooked chorizo, sliced steak, shredded lettuce, and crumbled cheese. Add salsa if desired.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Top with fresh cilantro and serve immediately while warm.
