Ingredients
1 lb flank steak or skirt steak
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons Dan-O’s seasoning (or your favorite steak seasoning)
4 corn tortillas
1 cup corn (fresh or grilled)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup cotija cheese, crumbled
1 lime, juiced
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
1/4 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
In a bowl, season the flank or skirt steak with salt, pepper, and Dan-O’s seasoning. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat.
Grill the steak for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
In a separate bowl, combine corn, mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, cilantro, chili powder (if using), and salt and pepper to taste. Stir until well combined.
Warm the tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet.
Fill each tortilla with grilled steak and elote corn. Top with crumbled cotija cheese.
Notes
For a vegetarian version, substitute steak with grilled tempeh or tofu.
Use frozen and thawed corn if fresh or grilled corn is unavailable.
Cotija cheese can be substituted with feta or grated mozzarella.
