Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    Season the inside skirt steak with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Steak

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked to your desired doneness. Let it rest before slicing.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Onions

    In a skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Add thinly sliced red onions and sauté until caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Guacamole

    Mash the avocado in a bowl and mix with diced green chiles, salt, and pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Chipotle Ranch Dressing

    In a small bowl, mix the sour cream and chipotle sauce together until well combined.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Pepitos

    Warm the tortillas, spread refried beans on each, layer with sliced arrachera, sautéed onions, asadero cheese, guacamole, and drizzle with chipotle ranch dressing. Roll and serve.
