Notes

You can also use skirt steak or flap meat.
If you are not sure how to tell when the steak is done I highly recommend using a digital meat thermometer.
If you have leftover chipotle peppers in adobo sauce just through it all in a freezer baggie and freeze it for other recipes.
I used white corn tortillas, but flour tortillas are another great option.
I highly recommend grilling the tortillas, it adds a nice layer of flavor.
