Lime Chipotle Skirt Steak Tacos with Corn Relish

Ok so I made another recipe from the Costco cook book tonight. My husband loved it!



Here is the recipe:

Lime Chipotle Skirt Steak Tacos with Corn Relish
Juice and grated zest of 6 limes
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup adobo sauce
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 1/2 pounds skirt steak, cut into 6 pieces
12  5- to 6-inch corn tortillas
Corn Relish
12 green onions
4 ears of corn, husked
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 teaspoons finely grated lime zest
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon chipotle chile powder

In a bowl, combine lime juice and zest, honey, oil, adobo sauce, cumin and pepper. Place steaks in a zip-lock bag and add marinade. Seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for 6-14 hours, turning occasionally.

Prepare the relish: Brush green onions and corn with 2 tablespoons oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill over medium-high heat until slightly charred, turning occasionally, about 2 minutes for onions and 7 minutes for corn. Cut corn kernels into a bowl. Add coarsely chopped green onions. Stir in cilantro, lime zest and juice, chipotle powder, 1 tablespoon oil, and salt and pepper.
Grill steaks over medium-high heat to an internal temperature of 145 degrees, about 5 minutes per side. Let rest for 5 minutes.

Place tortillas at the edge of the grill to warm, about 1 minute.
Arrange 2 warm tortillas on each plate. Thinly slice the steak across the grain. Divide the steak and juices among the tortillas. Spoon relish over each. Makes 6 servings.



I've never bought Adobo sauce before. This is all I could find that said "adobo".

The marinade.

This is actually flap steak from Costco. Not sure if it makes a difference.

I used frozen corn on the cob because I didn't see any at the store.

The finished tacos.

I'm not a huge fan of lime but they were good. I actually liked the taste of the relish before I added the lime and cilantro. But my husband loves lime and he really liked these tacos.
