Method

Marinating the Meat and Prawns

  1. 1

    Marinate the Skirt Steak

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add the skirt steak, ensuring it's well-coated. Marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Prawns

    In a separate bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Add the jumbo tiger prawns and marinate for 30 minutes.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Grill the Skirt Steak

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated skirt steak for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Let it rest before slicing.

  2. 4

    Grill the Prawns

    On the same grill, cook the marinated jumbo prawns for 2-3 minutes per side until they are pink and opaque.

  3. 5

    Cook the Chorizo and Cheese

    In a skillet, cook the chorizo on medium heat until browned. Add sliced grilled cheese until melted.

  4. 6

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Warm the milpa tortillas on the grill for a few seconds on each side until pliable.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Assemble the Molcajete

    In a molcajete or serving dish, layer the grilled skirt steak, jumbo prawns, chorizo, and melted cheese. Top with sliced avocado and serve with warm tortillas and salsa verde on the side.
