Costra Tacos

Step 3: Assemble & serve

  • Taco components

    • corn tortillas
    • monterrey jack cheese
      , grated
    • hot sauce
    • pickled onions
    • crema

    • melted cheese
    • seared steak

Once the edges of the cheese circle turn golden brown, add a serving of meat to the cheese in a line, as if the melted cheese circle were a tortilla.

Gently use a spatula to fold the cheese over the meat, wrapping it as you would an enchilada. The cheese should be crispy on the outside, yet still soft enough to wrap and hold its shape around the meat.

Transfer the cheese-wrapped meat to a warm tortilla. Top it with a drizzle of crema, hot sauce, and pickled onions. It's best enjoyed warm.
