Prep Time: 45 min.
Source: Better Homes and Gardens

Ingredients

1 3/4- to 1-pound beef flank steak
1/3 cup dry red wine
4 teaspoons lime juice
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, seeded and finely chopped
1 tablespoon snipped fresh cilantro
2 teaspoons cooking oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
6 husked and finely chopped tomatillos (1-1/2 cups)
2 or 3 canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, drained, seeded, and finely chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1/4 teaspoon finely shredded lime peel
1 tablespoon finely snipped fresh cilantro
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 8-inch fat-free flour tortillas
3 cups mixed baby greens or torn leaf lettuce
1/2 of a small red sweet pepper, cut into thin strips
1 medium papaya, peeled, seeded and cut into thin wedges
1 tablespoons crumbled queso fresco cheese or feta cheese

Directions:

1. Score steak by making shallow cuts at 1-inch intervals diagonally across steak in a diamond pattern. Repeat scoring on second side. Place meat in a plastic bag set in a shallow dish.
2. For marinade, stir together red wine, lime juice, soy sauce, the 1 chipotle pepper, 1 tablespoon cilantro, cooking oil, and 2 cloves garlic. Pour over steak in bag; seal bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 4 to 24 hours, turning bag occasionally.
3. Meanwhile, stir together tomatillos, the 2 to 3 finely chopped chipotle peppers, red onion, lime peel, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 tablespoon cilantro, 2 cloves garlic, honey, and salt. Cover and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes to blend flavors.
4. Drain steak, reserving marinade. Grill steak on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals for 12 to 14 minutes or to desired doneness (160 degrees F for medium doneness), turning once and brushing with reserved marinade halfway through grilling. Discard any reserved marinade.
5. Wrap tortillas in paper towels. Microwave on 100% power (high) for 30 seconds to soften. (Or, wrap tortillas in foil. Heat in 350 degrees F oven for 10 minutes or until softened.)
6. Meanwhile, combine the mixed greens, 2/3 cup of the salsa, and the sweet pepper in a salad bowl. Toss to mix. Thinly slice flank steak diagonally across the grain.
7. To assemble, top each tortilla with salad mixture, steak slices, papaya, and queso fresco or feta cheese. Roll up each tortilla, securing with an appetizer pick. Makes 4 servings.

Chipotle Steak Sauce
A great steak sauce from Texas Hot Chef Brian Luscher.

Prep: 20 minutes
Cook: 25 minutes

1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1/3 yellow onion, sliced thinly
1 bay leaf
1 carrot, thinly sliced
3 roma tomatoes, diced
2 Tbsp. tomato paste

1 Tbsp. minced garlic
1 cup red wine
1 cup chicken stock
1 cup beef stock
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. black pepper
1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice

Add oil to preheated saucepan. When oil is smoking, add onions and saute. DO NOT OVER STIR.
When onions have achieved a good caramel color, add carrot and bay leaf. Cook until well caramelized.
Add tomatoes and chipotle pepper and cook until almost dry. Add garlic and cook until aroma is apparent.
Add tomato paste and brown slightly. Deglaze with wine, bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Do not reduce quickly as sauce will be bitter if wine is reduced to quickly.

Remove from heat. Use blender to puree while adding salt, pepper and lime juice.

2 T. olive oil
1 T. chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 t. ground cumin

For the salsa:

Thread vegetables onto six skewers. Remove beef from marinade; discard marinade. Using two skewers per piece, insert remaining skewers into beef pieces in the same direction as the grain.

Cut beef between skewers to make individual servings. Season beef and vegetables with salt and pepper as desired. Serve with mango salsa.
