MARINATED BEEF GRILLED WITH CHORIZO AND JALAPEñOS SERVED WITH GRILLED QUESADILLAS

Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the lime juice, orange juice, oil, oregano, salt and pepper. Add the onion and garlic and toss with your hands to combine. Add the beef and toss to coat. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 12 hours.
- Prepare a gas grill for two-zone heat: Set one burner at medium-high and one or two burners at high. (Alternatively, prepare a charcoal grill for high heat.)
- Remove the steaks from the marinade, shaking off any excess and brushing off and reserving any onions that are stuck to the meat. Drain the onions in a fine-mesh sieve set over the sink - discard the marinade and save the onions.
- Grill the beef over high heat, turning once, for 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes.
- If the onions have fallen apart, they will be easier to sauté rather than grill, unless you have a vegetable grill basket-and if you do, I recommend using it (even if the onions didn't fall apart, a grill basket will help prevent them from slipping through the grill grates). Grill or sauté the onions until they are charred on all sides, for 4 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Grill the chorizo, turning occasionally, until charred on all sides and cooked through, for 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- Grill the whole jalapeños and scallions over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until charred and tender, for 4 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with a squeeze of lime juice, a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt.
- To make the quesadillas, toast one side of the tortillas over the medium-high side of the grill until lightly charred, for about 1 minute. Flip and place a small mound of cheese on the charred side, then fold in half like a taco and continue to grill until the cheese begins to melt and the tortilla is lightly charred, for about 1 minute. Flip again to char the other side.
- Serve the quesadillas along with grilled tortillas and you can make tacos or stuff the quesadillas with carne asada, chorizo, chiles jalapeños, scallions, guacamole, salsa tatemada and cilantro. Serve with the refried beans and lime wedges for squeezing.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Beef: Select a flavorful cut of beef, such as flank steak, skirt steak, or top sirloin. These cuts are great for marinating and grilling.
- Tenderize the Beef: Before cooking, tenderize the beef using a meat mallet or by marinating it in a flavorful mixture. This will help make the beef more tender and juicy.
- Use a Quality Marinade: Marinating the beef in a flavorful marinade will add extra flavor and moisture to the meat. Use a combination of spices, herbs, and liquids to create a marinade that complements the beef.
- Grill the Beef Properly: Grill the beef over medium-high heat until it reaches your desired doneness. For medium-rare, cook the beef for about 5-7 minutes per side. For medium, cook for 7-9 minutes per side. And for well-done, cook for 9-11 minutes per side.
- Slice the Beef Thinly: Once the beef is cooked, slice it thinly against the grain. This will make the beef easier to chew and more enjoyable to eat.
- Use Fresh and Flavorful Vegetables: Choose fresh and flavorful vegetables for your quesadillas. Bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes are all great options.
- Use a Variety of Cheeses: Experiment with different types of cheeses to find the perfect combination for your quesadillas. Cheddar, Monterey Jack, and queso Oaxaca are all popular choices.
- Don't Overfill the Quesadillas: When assembling the quesadillas, don't overfill them. Too much filling will make the quesadillas difficult to fold and cook evenly.
- Cook the Quesadillas Until Golden Brown: Cook the quesadillas in a hot skillet or on a griddle until they are golden brown on both sides. This will help seal in the filling and create a crispy exterior.
- Serve the Quesadillas with your Favorite Toppings: Serve the quesadillas with your favorite toppings, such as guacamole, salsa, sour cream, and Pico de Gallo.
