    ****
    There is no way I could amass a collection of the most essential Mexican recipes without including grilled skirt steak tacos. They are simply my favorite-beefy, juicy slices of smoky meat on a warm tortilla, a little seasoned mashed avocado, a splash of salsa, a squeeze of lime, maybe some grilled knob onions on the side to provide the counterpoint of texture and flavor.
    The first thing to know about skirt steak is that there are two kinds, inner skirt and outer skirt. While inner might sound more protected, more tender, it’s the reverse: the inner skirt steak is thicker, tougher and in most places less expensive. The butchers at the Mexican grocery near my house butterfly inner skirt steak and then run it through a tenderizing machine before they sell it. Outer skirt steak, on the other hand, is thinner, more tender and even beefier-no need for butterflying or tenderizing.
    Most Mexican cooks make simple marinades for the meat they grill and chop for tacos. Often, it’s just salt. Some add fresh lime plus a little garlic, perhaps along with the beloved northern Mexican triumvirate of black pepper, oregano and cumin. And still others play the umami card, enhancing the meat with salsa inglesa (Worcestershire), soy or a little Knorr Suiza powdered bouillon. For this recipe, I’ve decided to go all the way.
    Because this dish is most famous from northern Mexico (but beloved everywhere), it welcomes flour as well as corn tortillas.

      Man I would love a setup like that.
      Anytime I cook a steak 🥩 I have to have guacamole with it. I like it spicy.
      Since I live in an apartment we aren’t allowed to have a pit or grill so I use a cast iron skillet. I sear my fajita meat first. Let it rest then cut it like he said. Cut up a red, green and yellow bell peppers and 1 poblano pepper. Mix them up in a bowl. Add salt, pepper, Mexican cumin.
      Sauté the veggies first just to get them soft then add the meat mix them altogether so that the meat gets the the flavor from the veggies take them out let them cool just for a little bit and It’s ready to serve on a nice flour or corn tortilla.

      If "envy" is always confused for "jealousy", does that mean that "envy" has no meaning anymore, or is "jealousy" the one without meaning - for it isn't even a contextual word, its just fallen to the graces of language evolution.
      It isn't possible for a word to have two opposite meanings, right? You can't be jealous of your neighbor's grill and then be jealous when he envies your grill, right?

    In my opinion he is the only..and I remark, the only chef (that I know for know)that respects so close the authentic Mexican cuisine, nothing like so called chefs, won't say names, or trash places like tacobell, taco cabana, taco bueno, or many places that say "Mexican food" Mexican-American= junk food.
    Northamericans trying to make Mexican food= trash food. Anyway he believes on preserve tradition with respect, not only now but he is doing his homework for years. Something drops to the kitchen floor sometimes but always with respect to the traditions.

    I smoke it with mesquite wood at 225 for a hour or so and it's lights out! This way you can marinade for longer and it won't matter if the meat is brown or red. The smoke really adds another dimension to Rick's recipe.

    Very nice preparation, straight forward and traditional.
    100% agree, skirt/flank/hangar all benefit from being cooked medium, it breaks down the connective tissues and combined with proper cutting against the grain, all but eliminates the stringiness.
    Quick Tip: Press the steak onto the grill for a few seconds after you place it down. That added contact will help increase the browning.

    Thank you, Chef, For these videos. I remember meeting you at events down in the Marshall Fields Pedway, coming home from work, and you are as warm and friendly in person as you are on camera. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and love for the cuisine of Mexico. You got Robbed on Iron Chef!!
