Key Tool
Step Description
1
In a bowl, combine all steak ingredients and massage the marinade into the meat. Set aside.
2
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high. Rub poblano peppers and onion with ½ tbsp. avocado oil. Grill for a few minutes per side to char.
3
Transfer grilled veggies to a Pyrex dish and roast in the oven at 375°F for 20 minutes, until soft.
4
Cut off the top of the garlic head, coat with oil, wrap in foil, and roast in oven for 30–40 minutes until soft. Set aside with veggies.
5
Grill the skirt steak over medium-high for 1–2 minutes per side. Insert your
ThermoPro TP16 thermometer
and cook covered until internal temp reaches 135°F. Let rest for 10 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
6
Plunge roasted poblanos into cold water and peel skins. Remove seeds.
7
Add peeled poblanos, grilled onion, lime juice, vinegar, and half the garlic cloves to a food processor. Pulse to combine. Add half the cilantro, avocado, and oil; pulse until chunky. Stir in remaining cilantro and salt to taste. Process to desired consistency.
8
Assemble tacos: Add lettuce to crunchy shells, top with steak slices, poblano sauce, avocado chunks, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Add any other toppings you like!
