Tacos
8 Guerrero® Riquisimas Chipotle Tortillas

1/4 cup loosely packed chopped fresh cilantro leaves

how to make it:
Step 1: Prepare Salsa Verde
In medium bowl, toss tomatillos in oil.
Heat large heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat. Cook tomatillos, stirring occasionally, for 6 to 8 minutes or until starting to brown and blister. Let cool slightly.
Transfer tomatillos to blender. Add serrano pepper, onion, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, cumin and salt; pulse until finely chopped.
Step 2: Tomatillo Avocado Salsa
Preheat broiler. Arrange tomatillos, jalapeño and garlic on foil-lined baking sheet. Broil, turning and flipping halfway through the cooking time, for 5 to 7 minutes or until lightly charred and tender. Let cool completely.
Transfer tomatillos mixture to blender. Add avocado, onion, cilantro, lime juice and salt. Pulse until blended.
Step 3: Prepare Steak
Pat steak dry with paper towel. Rub with oil and season with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
Heat cast-iron pan or heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat. Sear steak, flipping once, for 6 to 8 minutes or until browned and cooked to medium rare, or cook to desired doneness. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Step 4: Warm Tortillas
Meanwhile, warm tortillas according to package directions.
Step 5: Assemble Tacos
Divide steak among warm tortillas. Garnish with radishes, jalapeño, onion and cilantro as desired. Serve with jalapeño, onion, Salsa Verde, Tomatillo Avocado Salsa and lime wedges.
Tip: Substitute flank steak with skirt steak or thinly sliced boneless rib-eye steaks.
