STEAK TAQUITOS
Source: Bon Appetit magazine, September 1995
Serves 12

If the four-inch tortillas used at Caf Iguana in Denver, Colorado, are hard to find, the standard five- to six-inch ones also work, or they can be trimmed to the smaller size.

2 1/2 cups chopped tomatoes
2 cups chopped onions
3/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
6 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped serrano chilies or jalape o chilies

3 cups crumbled queso fresco or mild feta cheese (about 18 ounces). Queso fresco, also known as queso blanco, is available at Latin American markets and in some supermarkets.
24 4-inch corn tortillas
2 pounds skirt steaks, trimmed

Combine first 5 ingredients in medium bowl. Season salsa with salt and pepper. (Can be made 4 hours ahead. Cover; chill.)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place queso fresco in bowl. Wrap tortillas in foil, enclosing completely. Place in oven until heated through, about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare barbecue (medium-high heat) or preheat broiler. Season steaks generously with salt and pepper. Grill or broil steaks to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Thinly slice steaks across grain. Place in serving bowl.

Arrange bowls of salsa, queso fresco, corn tortillas and steak on table. Allow guests to assemble their own taquitos.
