Carne Asada with Spicy Sour Cream Sauce

(Click each picture to make it larger)

Needs to be sliced thinner and placed on a BBQ.  It was too cold outside for all that.

Ingredients:

-2 lbs. flank steak, sliced very thin.  Ask your butcher to slice it very thin or this will lead to frustration

Marinade

-2 limes juiced
-3 jalapenos, diced
-3 green onion stalks, chopped thin
-2 garlic cloves, minced
-1/2 Corona
-1 tbsp. sugar

Sour Cream Sauce

-2 tbsp. sour cream
-2 tsp. Tapatio          http://www.tapatiohotsauce.com/
-2 tbsp. fresh cilantro chopped
-1/2 tsp ground chipotle pepper

Corn tortillas cut into squares and deep fried
Grated sharp cheddar cheese

In a large mixing bowl work the marinade into the meat with your hands. Cover container then place in refrigerator for an hour.   Remove meat from refrigerator and let rest for 20 minutes then place on BBQ or a really hot pan. Cook for about 7-10 minutes or until you get a nice char on the edges (this is what I was looking for but the meat was too thick).   Serve the meat over tortilla squares then spoon on the sour cream sauce and grated cheese. Serve.

Enjoy,

Eric

I will be revisiting this during the summer time……damn you cold spring!
