Ancho Adobo Bistec Tacos with Roasted Corn & Tomatillo Salsa
Bistec (beef) tacos get fiery heat with an adobo or marinade of garlic, cilantro, lime juice and three peppers – smoky ancho, sweet paprika and crushed red pepper. Serve the tacos with a refreshing salsa of roasted corn, tomatillos and cilantro.
Prep Time: 40 minutes

3 fresh tomatillos, papery skin removed, rinsed well and diced (about 1 cup)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 green onion, chopped (about 2 tablespoons)
1 radish, halved and thinly sliced (about 2 tablespoons)
2 tablespoons diced red onion
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon McCormick® Gourmet Collection Diced Jalapeño Peppers
1/4 teaspoon salt

12 tortillas de maíz (de 5 1/2 pulgadas)
INSTRUCCIONES
PARA LA SALSA, retire las hojas y las barbas del maíz. Remójelo en agua durante 15 minutos.
Sobre una parrilla, cocine el maíz a fuego medio alto durante 10 minutos o hasta que esté tierno y ligeramente tostado, volteándolo ocasionalmente. Desgrane el maíz (alrededor de 2 tazas). Mezcle bien el maíz, los tomatillos, el cilantro, la cebollita, el rábano, la cebolla roja, el jugo de limón, el aceite, los jalapeños y la sal en un recipiente grande y cúbralo. Refrigere durante por lo menos 15 minutos para que se mezclen los sabores.
PARA EL BISTEC, mezcle el ajo, el cilantro, el jugo de limón, el agua y los sazonadores en un procesador de alimentos y cúbralos. Procéselos hasta que queden bien molidos. Reserve 2 cucharadas. Coloque el bistec en un plato de cristal. Agregue el resto del adobo, dele vuelta para cubrirlo bien y cúbralo. Refrigere durante 15 minutos o más para obtener más sabor. Retire el bistec del adobo. Deseche el resto del adobo.
SOBRE UNA PARRILLA cocine el bistec a fuego medio alto durante 3 o 4 minutos por cada lado o hasta alcanzar el nivel deseado de cocción, barnizándolo con las 2 cucharadas de adobo. Cocine a la parrilla las cebollas durante 2 o 3 minutos por cada lado o hasta que queden ligeramente tostadas. Coloque en la parrilla las tortillas durante 1 minuto por cada lado o hasta que estén calientes.
CORTE el bistec en rebanadas delgadas. Corte las cebollas en tiras delgadas. Sirva el bistec y las cebollas en tortillas. Vierta la salsa por encima.
Los tacos de bistec adquieren un sabor bien picante con un adobo de ajo, cilantro, jugo de limón y tres chiles, el chile ancho ahumado, paprika o pimentón dulce estilo español y el chile rojo triturado. Sirva los tacos con una salsa refrescante de maíz asado, tomatillo y cilantro.
