Prep Time

1 hours

Cook Time

15 minutes

Ingredients

Steak & Marinade

1–1.5kg skirt steak
Juice of 3 limes
60ml (¼ cup) tequila
1–2 jalapeños, finely chopped
2 tbsp Lane’s Chilli Lime Rub

Tequila Chimichurri

1 bunch fresh parsley, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
½ red onion, finely diced
1 jalapeño, finely chopped
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
80ml (⅓ cup) olive oil
2 tbsp tequila
Salt & pepper, to taste

Other

1 cup queso (or other melting cheese)
1 tbsp tequila (for melting cheese)
8–10 tortillas

Directions

Marinate the Steak – In a large dish, combine lime juice, tequila, chopped jalapeños, and Lane’s Chilli Lime Rub. Add skirt steak, coat well, cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Make the Tequila Chimichurri – In a bowl, mix parsley, garlic, onion, jalapeño, red wine vinegar, olive oil, tequila, salt, and pepper. Set aside to let flavours meld.
Grill the Steak – Preheat a charcoal grill to high heat. Remove steak from marinade and sear hot and fast, 2–3 minutes per side, until internal temp reaches 125°C (medium-rare). Rest for 5–10 minutes, then slice against the grain.
Melt the Cheese – In a pan, melt queso with a splash of tequila until smooth and gooey.
Toast the Tortillas – Warm tortillas over the grill or in a dry pan until lightly charred.
Assemble the Tacos – Spread cheese onto tortillas, top with sliced steak, spoon over tequila chimichurri, and serve immediately.
