Instructions
Steak:

- Preheat your fire to high heat (around 450 degrees F) for direct grilling.
- Pull your steaks out of the bag and discard any excess marinade.
- Add your steaks to the grill to cook for about 4-5 minutes per side or until they are 125F internal.
- Once done, pull the steaks off and let them rest for 10 minutes. Once rested, slice your steaks against the grain then into bite size cubes.
Corn & Elote:
- Preheat your grill to medium high temperature (around 375 degrees F) for direct cooking.
- Grill your corn over the high heat for 6-8 minutes until fully cooked and slightly charred.
- Pull off the grill and slice the corn off the cob.
- Add the corn to a bowl and mix together with all of the other ingredients for the Grilled Corn.
- Finally, mix in a bowl all the ingredients for the Elote Sauce.
Tacos:
- Add a cast iron skillet over medium heat to preheat.
- Add a tortilla and cook one side then flip and top with a handful of shredded cheese. Fold the tortilla with cheese over in half, then cook both sides until slightly crispy and the cheese is melted.
- Pull the tortilla off and open up. Add sliced steak, corn salsa and drizzle the elote sauce on top. Serve and enjoy!
