Method

Preparing the Steak

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    Season the Angus steak with salt and let it marinate for about 30 minutes to enhance the flavor.

  2. 2

    Grill the Steak

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated Angus steak for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Making the Morita Chili Sauce

  1. 3

    Prepare the Chilis

    Remove the stems and seeds from the dried Morita chilis. Rinse them briefly under cold water.

  2. 4

    Cook the Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine the Morita chilis, garlic cloves, tomato, onion, salt, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the chilis are soft.

  3. 5

    Blend the Sauce

    Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Blend the mixture until smooth. Adjust seasoning if necessary, then set aside.

Assembling the Taquitos

  1. 6

    Prepare the Fillings

    Slice the grilled Angus steak into thin strips. Cut the avocado into slices and grill the scallions until they are tender.

  2. 7

    Fill the Tortillas

    Take a flour tortilla and place a few slices of grilled steak in the center. Add some pico de gallo, a slice of avocado, and a few pieces of grilled scallions.

  3. 8

    Roll the Taquitos

    Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.

Cooking the Taquitos

  1. 9

    Fry the Taquitos

    In a skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Fry the taquitos seam side down until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes on each side.

  2. 10

    Serve

    Remove the taquitos from the skillet and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Serve hot with the morita chili sauce on the side.
