Tacos de Alambre de Carne con Chorizo y Queso

10 tacos
Beef, Chorizo and Cheese Alambre Tacos

Ingredients

  • pounds beef top sirloin, sliced into ½” steaks, cut into 1” pieces
  • Juice of a lime, about 2 tablespoons
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
  • 8 ounces thick bacon, cut in bite-sized pieces
  • 8 ounces Tropical® Mexican Chorizo, casings removed, chopped
  • 1 white onion, halved and slivered (about 2 cups)
  • 1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and cut into matchsticks or julienne
  • 1 poblano chile, stemmed, seeded, and cut into matchsticks or julienne
  • 12 ounces Tropical® Oaxaca cheese, pulled apart or cut into small pieces
  • Corn tortillas
  • Salsa Tatemada de Guacamole con Chile de Árbol

To Prepare

  • In a large bowl, mix the lime juice, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Add the cut beef, mix well to coat, and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large cast iron pan or casserole, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until it starts to brown and crisp, stirring occasionally, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the chorizo and brown in the rendered bacon fat, until also browned and crisped. Transfer to a bowl with a slotted spoon or spider, leaving the rendered bacon and chorizo fat behind. Add the onion, bell pepper, and poblano, and cook until they soften, about 3 to 4 minutes. With a slotted spoon or spider, transfer to the same bowl as the bacon and chorizo.
  • Raise heat to high and add the meat in batches, making sure to not overcrowd, leaving any marinade behind. Cook for about 4 minutes, stirring and flipping the meat as it browns, then transferring the cooked batch to a bowl. When all the meat has cooked, reduce heat to low and return the meat, vegetables, chorizo and bacon to the pan. Incorporate the cheese all over and cover with a lid for a few minutes, just until the cheese melts. Turn off heat.
  • On a preheated comal or skillet over medium heat, heat the corn tortillas until completely heated through and lightly browned on both sides.
  • Assemble the tacos with as much Alambre de Carne con Queso as you like, and dress with the Charred Chile de Árbol Guacamole Salsa.
