Marinade
1 lb skirt steak
1 lime, juice of
1 tablespoon white vinegar
2 serrano peppers, chopped
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 teaspoon Mexican oregano
1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Sauce
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can fire-roasted tomatoes
1 jalapeno, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
salt & pepper
Enchilada (optional)
1 corn tortilla
2 ounces monterey jack cheese

1
Place all of the marinade ingredients, except for the steak, into a food processor and buzz them up. Then pour the mixture over the steak in a non-reactive container and marinade for about 15 minutes. Any longer and the acid from the lime juice will cook your steak for you!
2
Meanwhile prepare the sauce by buzzing the fire roasted tomatoes, jalepeno, garlic, vinegar, sugar, cilantro and salt & pepper in your food processor until you have a fine consistency.
3
Place this mixture in a pot over medium heat and cook for about 20 minutes, stiring constantly to make sure the tomatoes don't burn.
4
Grill the steak over high heat to your desired doneness (skirt steak is exceedingly thin so 2 minutes a side on my gas grill was about medium rare). It all depends on your heat, so since you're the cook, you decide!
5
Top the steak with the sauce and serve.
6
Optionally, to do it exactly like they do at El Torito, go ahead and roll the jack cheese inside a corn tortilla (which has been softened in a little bit of hot oil for 5 seconds), which you have baked just until the cheese melts. Place this enchilada on top of the steak before you spoon on the sauce.
7
Please enjoy.
