  • 4 Mission® Artisan® Corn & Whole Wheat Tortillas
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 jalapeno pepper, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 2 limes, juiced
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 (12 ounce) flank steak
  • 1/2 cup heirloom tomatoes, cut into large chunks
  • 1 tablespoon crumbled cotija cheese
  • 4 Bibb lettuce leaves
  • Salt and black pepper as needed
  • 1 cup corn, fresh cut from cob or frozen sweet corn kernels
  • 1/2 cup red onion, diced
  • 1 poblano pepper, cut into strips
  1. Combine garlic, jalapeno, cumin, cilantro, lime juice, sugar and oil in a mixing bowl. Whisk until well combine and transfer to a plastic gallon-size zip top bag, add flank steak and marinate under refrigeration for 1 to 4 hours.
  2. Assemble tomatoes, cheese, and lettuce leaves on a platter.
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat and place 8-inch cast iron pan on directly on the grill or over side burner set to medium-high heat.
  4. Remove steak from marinade, pat dry and season with salt and pepper as desired. Grill steak for 6 to 8 minutes per side or to desired doneness. Remove and allow steak to rest 5 minutes before slicing into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  5. Meanwhile, coat preheated cast iron pan with non-stick spray. Add corn, red onion, and poblano peppers; saute for 6 to 8 minutes or until corn has nice char marks and peppers are tender crisp. At the same time, coat Mission(R) Artisan(R) Tortillas with non-stick spray and grill on each side no more than 30 seconds.
  6. Immediately place sliced steak on top of corn mixture in cast iron pan and serve sizzling hot.
