Instructions

  1. 1

    In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced steak and shrimp with 1971 Hook hot sauce, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Let marinate for 15 minutes.

    Pro tip: For deeper flavor, marinate for up to 2 hours.

  2. 2

    For the mint chimichurri, mix mint, parsley, Fresno chili, garlic, olive oil, and red wine vinegar in a bowl. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steak slices until browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

  4. 4

    In the same skillet, cook the shrimp until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

  5. 5

    Deep-fry the tortillas until crispy, about 1 minute per side. Drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    To assemble, place mozzarella cheese on each tortilla, followed by steak and shrimp. Top with mint chimichurri.

  7. 7

    Serve immediately, drizzling additional 1971 Hook hot sauce if desired.

Chef Tips

  • For a healthier option, grill the tortillas instead of deep-frying.
  • Store leftover chimichurri in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your spice preference.
