STEPS

1

Lay flank steak in a large glass baking dish.

2

Prepare the marinade by whisking soy sauce, olive oil, vinegar, garlic, lime juice, salt, black pepper, white pepper, garlic powder, chili powder, oregano, cumin, and paprika in a bowl. Pour over steak, ensuring both sides are covered. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 to 8 hours.

3

Make relish by combining onion, cilantro, and lime juice in a bowl. Set aside.

4

Toast chili pods in a skillet over medium-high heat for a few minutes, then soak them in water for 30 minutes.

5

Roast tomatoes, onion, garlic, and jalapeños on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 450°F (230°C) for 20 minutes or until toasted.

6

Blend roasted vegetables with soaked chilies, salt, and pepper until smooth to make salsa.

7

Remove steak from the marinade, discard the excess marinade, and cut steak into cubes or strips. Cook in a large skillet over medium-high heat with vegetable oil until done.

8

Warm corn tortillas in a dry skillet for 1 minute on each side.

9

Assemble tacos by placing steak on tortillas, topping with relish and salsa, and sprinkling with cotija cheese. Garnish with lime wedges and serve.
