@seattlehanddoc STEAK TACOS WITH SALSA ROJA with Chile Cheese Crisp We learned a new technique from one of our favorite chefs, @ryanmichaelcarter from his Anaheim Tacos … and had to try it, his Mexican food is off the hook! Making your own tortillas is so straightforward and simple and an absolute game changer for the meal! Blue tortilla press is by @masienda INGREDIENTS CHILE CHEESE CRISP * 4 Anaheim peppers * 1 tsp + 1 TBSP neutral oil, divided * 1 cup shredded Oaxaca cheese * 1 cup shredded Chihuahua cheese STEAK * 1 lb flank or skirt steak * Kosher salt SALSA ROJA * 3 guajillo chiles * 2 ancho chiles * 6 garlic cloves * 3 Roma tomatoes * 1/2 yellow onion * 1 jalapeño * Optional: 1–2 TBSP sour cream FOR SERVING * Warm corn tortillas DIRECTIONS 1. Roast tomatoes, onion, and jalapeño at 450°F until softened and lightly charred, about 20–25 minutes. 2. In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tsp oil, guajillo chiles, ancho chiles, and garlic. Toast 1–2 minutes until fragrant, turning often so they don’t burn. Cover with hot water and soak 10 minutes. 3. Remove stems from chiles and blend with roasted vegetables, garlic, and a splash of soaking liquid until smooth. Season with salt. Blend in sour cream if desired. 4. Char Anaheim peppers in 1 TBSP oil until blistered and softened. Cover and steam 10 minutes. Peel, split, remove seeds, and flatten. 5. Generously salt steak and grill over high heat 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Rest 10 minutes, then chop finely. 6. Heat a cast iron skillet or griddle. Add Oaxaca and Chihuahua cheese, then press in flattened Anaheim peppers. Cook until melted and crisp around the edges. 7. Warm tortillas. Fill with chile cheese crisp, chopped steak, and salsa roja. #steak #tacos #dinnerideas #carne #mexicanfood
