Steak Tortillas Recipes

Steps:

• Place roast and water in a 3-qt. slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 8-9 hours or until meat is tender., Remove meat. When cool enough to handle, shred meat with 2 forks. Skim fat from cooking juices; set aside 1/2 cup. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the tomatoes, green pepper, onion, garlic and bay leaf in oil over low heat for 15-20 minutes or until vegetables are softened., Stir in the ketchup, jalapeno slices and juice, vinegar, salt, garlic salt and reserved cooking juices. Bring to a boil. Stir in shredded beef; heat through. Discard bay leaf. Serve on tortillas.

Steps:

• Prepare a gas or charcoal grill for direct cooking; the heat should be high on one side and medium on the other, with the rack about 4 inches from the flame. Have 2 platters handy; one so you can remove the vegetables as they begin to char, and another smaller one for the steak. Get a towel or foil ready for wrapping the tortillas.
• Once you have the vegetables prepped, toss or rub them all with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. (You will grill even the limes for squeezing on top of everything else.) Blot the steak dry with paper towels and set aside.
• On the hottest part of the grill, put the corn, avocado, radishes, mango and limes and char lightly, turning as necessary, for no more than 5 minutes. Start the zucchini, peppers, scallions and lettuce on the cooler side; they should be cooked until just tender and browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to the platter as they finish cooking.
• Season the steak with salt and pepper. Score the outer fat, if necessary. If using charcoal, consolidate the coals so that the heat is high again. Put the steak on the hot grill; cook, leaving it alone until the bottom is nicely charred and the steak releases easily, 2 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook for another 3 minutes, more or less, for medium-rare.
• Remove steak from the grill and let it rest for at least 5 minutes. Meanwhile, cook the tortillas on the grill, turning once or twice until lightly charred and stack in a towel or foil, wrapping loosely. Prepare the vegetables for serving: Strip the corn kernels off the cob and scoop out and slice the avocado; the rest of the vegetables you can chop or slice however you like, keeping in mind that you'll be putting them in tortillas.
• Slice the steak crosswise, sprinkle with more salt and pepper if you like and return to the platter. Serve the steak and vegetables with the tortillas.
