Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pieces ribeyes
- To taste salt
- To taste pepper
- 4 ears corn
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1/2 cup cotija cheese
- 1 piece lime, juiced
- 1 piece lime zest (optional)
- 8 small tortillas
- 1 piece jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the steak: Season the ribeyes with salt and pepper. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Grill the corn: Husk the corn and place it directly on the grill. Rotate every few minutes until slightly charred, about 10-15 minutes.
- Cook the steak: Grill the seasoned ribeyes for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting time based on preference.
- Make the sauce: In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, and a bit of lime zest if using.
- Chop the corn: Once the corn is cool enough to handle, cut the kernels off the cob into a bowl.
- Assemble tacos: Slice the grilled steak into thin strips and add steak, corn, chopped cilantro, jalapeño (if using), and a drizzle of the sauce onto each tortilla.
- Top with cheese: Finish each taco with a sprinkle of cotija cheese for a salty finish.
Notes
Use fresh corn for the best flavor. Marinate the steak for a few hours before grilling for extra flavor. Experiment with different toppings!
