Techniques
- ½ lb skirt steak
- chipotle chili powder
- cumin
- onion powder
- garlic powder
- salt
- pepper
- oil
Mix chipotle chili powder, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper and a shot of oil into a thick paste; coat the skirt steak and set aside (up to an hour ahead if there is time).
- 1 cup masa
- kosher salt
- ¾ cup warm water
Mix 1 cup masa with a pinch of kosher salt and about three quarters of a cup of warm water, first with a spatula then by hand, until the dough does not stick to the fingers. Cover with a towel.
- white onion
- 1 whole Roma
- cilantro
- lime juice
- salt and pepper
- cumin
Pico de gallo: finely dice white onion, add Roma tomato, cilantro, lime juice, salt, pepper and a touch of cumin; mix.
- mayo
- sour cream
- minced chipotles
- lime juice
- salt and pepper
Creamy chipotle: mix mayo, sour cream, minced chipotles to taste, lime juice, salt and pepper.
Creamy chipotle sauce
- 1 tbsp butter
- garlic paste
- 1 tbsp flour
Green chili queso: melt 1 tbsp butter in a warm pot, stir in garlic paste, then 1 tbsp flour.
- milk
- Hatch green chilies
Whisk in milk a little at a time to keep it smooth, then add Hatch green chilies, salt and pepper.
- salt and pepper
- Monterey Jack
- white cheddar
Add Monterey Jack and white cheddar a little at a time, back and forth, to keep it from being lumpy.
Roll a small ball of masa round, press between parchment in a tortilla press.
Cook the tortillas in a pan on medium until they colour, flip, go back and forth until they start to puff.
- oil
Fry the small tortillas in a little oil in a hot pan, flipping, until crisp and just colouring; they crisp more out of the pan. A hot oven is an alternative.
Grill the steak on a hot grill to medium-rare, turning a couple of times (about 100 after two and a half minutes); rest a few minutes.
- flour tortillas
Cut flour tortillas down to bowl size and warm briefly on the flat top to make them pliable.
Building and crisping the crunchwraps
Layer creamy chipotle, pico, a halved tostada and steak on each tortilla; fold the edges over.
Set seam side down on the flat top until sealed and crisp, about 30 seconds, flip and colour the other side.
