Chipotle Marinated Skirt Steak with fresh Mango Salsa

For a while now, my husband and I have been looking to move out of California. However in the case that it ever does come to fruition, I made it my life’s mission to master the art of Mexican cuisine. Growing up in southern California, Mexican food is just something I cannot live without. Trust me, I have tried, and it is not physically possible. 

Mango Salsa and Chipotle Steak

Chipotles in adobo sauce add one of my favorite flavor profiles ever. The chiles add a depth of smoky heat to any dishes. I will often add a pepper or two to chicken dishes and even pasta dishes. One of my favorite recipes is a chipotle white sauce with grilled peppers, shrimp and pasta. It is fantastic! Needless to say, whenever I am at Walmart, I always pick up a few extra cans of La Morena products (found in the hispanic food isle) to have on hand.

La Morena!

I was having people over this past weekend and I wanted to make something fresh and delicious. Skirt steak or flap meat are a few of my favorite cuts to prepare for a crowd. They soak up the marinade perfectly and cook on the grill quickly. For this marinade I wanted to add the smokiness of the chipotle peppers but also add a bit acidity from the pickled peppers to tone done the spiciness. Added with a few other ingredients such as onions, garlic, cumin, etc., this marinade turned out perfect and is definitely worth adding to my recipe collection.

I also made a fresh mango salsa to add on top of the meat. I cannot even begin to tell you how perfect the sweet, spicy, smoky flavor combination was! If you are a cranberry sauce and turkey kind of person, this is your perfect summer combination.

Mango Salsa

For the salsa I used a fresh mango, handful of cilantro, thinly sliced radishes for crunch, salt, and fresh lime juice. I also added in a few La Morena pickled jalapeños for spice and the acidity. It definitely toned down the sweetness of the mango slightly, and made it a bit more savory.
