Chili-Rubbed Skirt Steak Tacos
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 pounds skirt steak
- Kosher salt to taste
- 12 corn tortillas
- 1 cup Chunky Guacamole with Serrano Peppers (page 19)
- 12 wooden toothpicks
- Lightly oil the grill grate and prepare a medium-hot grill.
- Rub the chili powder onto both sides of the steak and sprinkle generously with salt.
- Grill the steak, turning once, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to taste.
- Transfer to a cutting board and let stand for 5 minutes.
- Stack the tortillas on a cutting board and use a sharp, thin-bladed knife to trim them into 4-inch squares.
- Heat a comal (page 173) or flat cast-iron griddle over medium heat.
- Place 1 to 2 tortilla squares on the comal, or as many as will fit without crowding, and heat until warm and soft.
- Transfer to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while you heat the remaining tortilla squares.
- Place a warm tortilla on a work surface with its points going up and down, like a diamond.
- Holding the knife at a roughly 45-degree angle to the cutting surface, cut the steak diagonally across the grain into thin strips.
- Place 2 to 3 strips across the center of the diamond.
- Top with a generous spoonful of guacamole.
- Pull the tortilla together corner to corner (so it looks like a triangle) and secure it with a toothpick.
- Place the taco on a serving platter and repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- Serve.
