Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon ancho chile powder
2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 (1-to 1 1/4-pounds) piece of flank steak
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
8 (7-to 8-inch) flour tortillas
3 cups packaged coleslaw mix (7 ounces)
Accompaniments: sliced pickled jalapeños; sour cream; lime wedges

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Stir together ancho powder, cocoa, and cinnamon.
  • Pat steak dry and season with 3/4 teaspoon salt, then coat with spice mixture. Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then cook steak, turning once, 8 to 9 minutes for medium-rare.
  • While steak cooks, wrap tortillas in foil and warm in oven.
  • Let steak rest 5 minutes on a cutting board, then thinly slice across the grain at an angle.
  • Serve steak with warm tortillas and coleslaw mix.
