Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Marinate the Meats

    In a bowl, combine the steak, chicken, shrimp, and chorizo. Add Chimayo chili powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Grill the tomato, red onions, and nopales cactus until charred and tender. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Black Beans

    Heat the black beans in a saucepan over medium heat until warmed through. Season with salt as needed.

    Cook the Rice

    Prepare the cilantro poblano rice according to package instructions, adding chopped cilantro and sautéed poblano peppers for flavor.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Grill the Meats

    Preheat your grill or cast iron skillet. Grill the marinated meats on high heat until cooked through, about 5-7 minutes for the steak and chicken, and 3-5 minutes for the shrimp and chorizo.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Molcajete

    In a preheated lava rock molcajete or a suitable serving dish, layer the grilled meats, black beans, grilled tomato, red onions, and nopales cactus.

  3. 7

    Melt the Cheese

    Top the assembled dish with Oaxaca cheese and place it under a broiler for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
