Chipotle Skirt Steak Tacos with Mango Salsa

Chipotle Skirt Steak Tacos with Mango Salsa 

Prep time 15 minutes 

Grill time 7-10 minutes 

Serves 4-6 

 

Chipotle skirt steak

 

2 pounds skirt, sirloin, or flank steak

1/4 cup adobo sauce from a can of chipotle peppers (Use the chopped chipotle pepper, if you like it spicy!)

Kosher salt and pepper to taste 

1-2 teaspoons olive oil 

 

Mango salsa 

 

2 mangos, peeled, seeded, and diced 

2 tablespoons finely chopped onion 

1/2 teaspoon ground coriander 

Juice of a lime 

1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro 

1 teaspoon olive oil 

Salt and pepper to taste

 

Chipotle cream 

 

1 cup sour cream 

1 teaspoon olive oil 

Juice of a lime 

1 whole chipotle pepper in adobo, or 2-3 tablespoons chopped chipotles in adobo 

 

Extras 

 

Corn or flour tortillas 

Olive oil, for brushing the tortillas 

Lime wedges 

Shredded cabbage 

 

Preheat grill to 350-400 degrees F. Season the room temperature steaks liberally and brush them with the adobo sauce. Throw them on your hot grill, lid closed, and grill 3-5 minutes per side. Pull the steaks and allow them to rest before slicing thinly against the grain. 

 

While the steaks grill, assemble the mango salsa. I like to chop everything prior to grilling the steaks, so it’s easy to assemble as they cook. Place everything into a bowl, and gently mix to combine. As the steaks finish, throw the oiled tortillas on the grill to cook 1-2 minutes. Remove the tortillas and slice the steak as thinly as possible against the grain. Assemble the tacos and enjoy!
