1

Place the flank steak in a large glass baking dish.
2

Make the marinade: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oil, vinegar, 4 cloves of garlic, the juice of two limes, salt, black pepper, white pepper, garlic powder, chili powder, oregano, cumin, and paprika until well combined; pour over the steak, turning to coat both sides. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 8 hours.
3

Make the relish: Stir the onion, cilantro, and lime juice together in a small bowl. Set aside.
4

Make the salsa: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chile pods and toast for a few minutes; transfer the pods to a bowl of water and soak for 30 minutes.
5

Place the tomatoes, 1 onion, 4 cloves of garlic, and jalapeños on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven until the vegetables are toasted, about 20 minutes.
6

Transfer the vegetables to a blender or food processor. Add the soaked chiles, salt, and pepper; puree until smooth.
7

Remove the steak from the marinade and shake off the excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Cut the marinated flank steak into cubes or strips. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak; cook and stir until cooked through and most of the liquid has evaporated.
8

Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over low heat for about a minute per side.
9

Place some steak on each tortilla; top with the relish and the prepared salsa. Sprinkle with cotija cheese. Garnish with lime wedges and serve.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
