Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Sear steak slices 30 seconds per side without moving until edges brown, then push to the side.

  3. Step 3

    Add chorizo to the empty space and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes until fat renders and edges crisp.

  4. Step 4

    Lay a tortilla flat, scatter half the cheese on one side, add a handful of steak and chorizo, then top with more cheese and a second tortilla.

  5. Step 5

    Slide the mulita into the skillet and press gently with a spatula, cooking 2 minutes until golden and cheese melts.

  6. Step 6

    Flip carefully and cook the second side 90 seconds until crispy, then transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

  7. Step 7

    In the same skillet, char the green onion halves over high heat for 1 minute per side until blackened at edges.

  8. Step 8

    Serve mulitas hot with charred onions on the side and lime wedges for squeezing.
