Nothing fancy this week. Just simple Mexican food done simple. Lime juice marinated hanger steak (Arrachera style), ultra fresh tortillas just off the machine and still hot in the package from Mi Pueblo Market, flash hot sauteed onions, bell peppers, jalapenos, garlic, tomatoes. Add on top some fresh salsa, avocado, sour cream, cheese and tapatio sauce. Simple but oh so good!

Here we go, no fancy lighting this time.

Fresh as fresh tortillas get!

The vegies for quick saute

Marinated the steak in lime juice then brush with EVOO, Jalapeno Season Salt and Butchers Steak & Brisket rubs. Get hardwood briquets going and add some cherry pellets. Most fell through the briquets though!

Flip over after 5 minutes

Done

Put it all together and eat!

Thanks BP, I actually had a block of Cotija in my hand but it was a big block and we only use it for a few things so we throw out unused often. Sooo, I put it down and just went with what cheddar we had in the fridge.

Scooter, your version of simple sure looks mighty tasty!

The guy who owns our local Mexican restaurant is actually from Cotija, Mexico, where Cotija cheese originated. He says it's basically Mexico's version of Parmesan.
