What you need:
(click + to add ingredients to your shopping list)
+ 2 beef shoulder top blade (flat iron) steaks (about 8 oz. each)
+ 1 c. cooked fresh or frozen corn kernels
+ 1 c. chopped tomato
+ 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
+ 1/4 tsp. salt
+ 4 medium whole wheat or flour tortillas (about 8-in. diameter)
+ 1 c. shredded Chihuahua cheese or Mexican cheese blend
+ chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Marinade:
+ 1/4 c. fresh lime juice
+ 1/4 c. tequila
+ 1 Tbsp. minced chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
What to do:
1. Combine marinade ingredients in small bowl. Reserve 2 Tbsp. for topping. Place beef steaks and remaining marinade in food-safe plastic bag; turn steaks to coat. Close bag securely and marinate in refrigerator 15 min. or up to 2 hr., turning occasionally.
2. Meanwhile, combine corn, tomato, 2 Tbsp. cilantro, salt and reserved 2 Tbsp. marinade in medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate.
3. Remove steaks from marinade; discard marinade. Place steaks on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, covered, 10-14 min. (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, 12-16 min.) for medium rare (145°F) to medium (160°F) doneness, turning occasionally.
4. Remove steaks; keep warm. Place tortillas on grid. Grill, covered, 1-2 min. or until toasted. Turn tortillas over; sprinkle evenly with cheese. Grill 1-2 min. or until toasted and cheese starts to melt.
5. Carve steak into thin slices. Season with salt, as desired. Top tortillas with equal amounts of beef and corn mixture. Garnish with cilantro, if desired.

* To cook fresh corn on grill, pull back husks from corn, leaving husks attached. Remove and discard corn silk. Bring husks back up around corn; tie in place with kitchen string or strips of corn husk. Soak corn in cold water 30 min. or up to several hours. Remove corn from water. Place on grid over medium, ash-covered coals; grill, covered, 20-30 min. (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, 15-25 min.) or until tender, turning occasionally. To cook frozen corn on stovetop, heat nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add corn; cook over medium heat 4-6 min. or until thoroughly heated, stirring occasionally.
