Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 32

1 pound skirt steak
1 small bottle tiger sauce, such as Try Me
Juice of 1 lime
Juice of 1 orange
2 cloves garlic, crushed
Juice of 2 limes
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 jalapeno, finely diced
Salt and pepper
1 pound halibut fillet
5 tomatillos
2 to 4 jalapenos, depending on spice preference
1 avocado
1/2 yellow onion
Juice of 4 limes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 bunch cilantro
1 tablespoon agave nectar
Salt and pepper
1/2 to 3/4 head cabbage, shredded
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
3 jalapenos, seeded and diced
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 tablespoon olive oil
Juice of 3 limes
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper
6 to 8 corn or flour tortillas
1 cup crumbled feta
Sliced radishes, optional
Lime wedges

Steps:

  • For the steak: Marinate the flank steak in the tiger sauce, lime juice, orange juice and garlic. Grill for 5 minutes per side. Rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain into thin slices.
  • For the halibut: Combine the lime juice, olive oil, garlic, jalapeno and some salt and pepper in a bowl. Add the halibut, turning to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator. Grill for 3 to 6 minutes per side, depending on thickness -- the halibut will flake when done. Cut into small pieces.
  • For the tomatillo-avocado salsa: In a blender, combine the tomatillos, jalapenos, avocado, onion, lime juice, olive oil, cilantro, agave and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Blend until completely smooth. Set aside.
  • For the jalapeno-lime slaw: Add the cabbage, cilantro and jalapenos to a large bowl. In a smaller bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder and some salt and pepper. Toss the cabbage with dressing to taste.
  • To serve: Begin plating with a corn tortilla. Add a little less than 1/4 cup of slaw, top with a few pieces of halibut, a tablespoon or so of the salsa and a few slices of steak. Finish with crumbled feta, sliced radishes, if using, and a lime wedge.

This spectacularly simple green sauce may be the perfect summer condiment. It requires no cooking, only takes 10 to 15 minutes to make, looks gorgeous, and tastes amazing with anything grilled and most things that aren't. Spoon over grilled pork tacos, grilled meats, or serve with chips.

AVOCADO-TOMATILLO TACO TRUCK SAUCE



Avocado-Tomatillo Taco Truck Sauce image

Ms. Gutierrez writes: "This is perhaps the most popular avocado sauce used by taco truck vendors in Mexico. A little sour and very creamy, it's used to top everything from totopos (fried tortilla chips) to tacos and chilaquiles. The acidity of the tomatillos keeps the avocado fresh and vibrantly green for up to three days, if refrigerated." Adapted from "Latin American Street Food: The Best Flavors of Markets, Beaches, and Roadside Stands from Mexico to Argentina" by Sandra A. Gutierrez.

AVOCADO AND ROASTED TOMATILLO SALSA



Avocado and Roasted Tomatillo Salsa image

I have been making tomatillo and avocado salsa for years, but I usually simmer the tomatillos rather than roasting them. Roasting the tomatillos, chiles and garlic - toasting really, as I use a skillet for this, on top of the flame - produces a salsa with a delicious charred flavor. I learned something recently from the chef Iliana de la Vega, who demonstrated the recipe at the "Healthy Kitchens, Healthy Lives" conference in Napa Valley in March: she says, in no uncertain terms, that you should not add water to tomatillo salsas. Without the water, this is a more intense salsa with pleasing density.You can use it as a sauce to serve with chicken or fish, or as a dip with chips or other vegetables.

Time 25m

Yield About 2 cups, serving 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound tomatillos, husked
1 to 2 serrano chiles (to taste), stems removed
1 medium garlic clove, unpeeled
1 slice white or red onion
1/2 cup chopped cilantro, with stems
1 medium avocado
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • Heat a heavy cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Place tomatillos in pan and toast until charred on 1 side, about 10 minutes for a medium or large tomatillo. The color in the middle should be fading from pale green to olive. Turn tomatillos over and continue to grill until charred on the other side, about 10 minutes, but not for so long that they burst. Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool.
  • Place chile(s), garlic clove and onion slice in skillet and toast, turning often, until chile is lightly charred and garlic is charred in spots and softened. The onion should be lightly colored on both sides but not charred black (that will make it bitter). Remove from heat. Peel the garlic and transfer, with the onion and chiles, to a blender. Add tomatillos and any liquid that may have accumulated in the bowl.
  • Add remaining ingredients to blender and blend until smooth. Taste, adjust seasoning, and serve.
