Carne Asada:
In a blender, combine chipotle pepper, garlic, orange juice, lime juice, oil, soy sauce, cilantro, honey and chili powder to make marinade. Place steak in a plastic seal bag and pour in marinade; massage to coat evenly. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours and not more than 8 hours.
Preheat a charcoal or gas grill to medium-high. Remove the steak from the marinade, season with salt and grill for about 4 minutes a side. Transfer to a cutting board and rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Once meat has rested, slice steak across the grain diagonally.
Mango Salsa:
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
To Assemble:
Warm the tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side in a dry skillet or on the grill, until toasty and pliable.
Serve steak strips on the warmed tortillas with avocado, cheese then topping with mango salsa.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
