Tex-Mex Skirt Steak with Homemade Tortillas
Adam: "Welcome to Taco Tuesday."
Joe Bastianich: "Taco Tuesday. So is that real? Like, a dinner party at your house is just taco Tuesdays and a couple of beers?"
Joel: "It is recently out in the backyard with a bunch of kids running around."
Joe Bastianich: "What are you making?"
Adam: "We're going to make some homemade tortillas. We got a nice marinated skirt steak. There's going to be a habanero hot sauce. We're going to do some rustic charro beans."
Joe Bastianich: "You going to make your own tortillas?"
Adam: "We are."
Joe Bastianich: "Have you done that before?"
Joel: "A couple times."
Joe Bastianich: "That can be very difficult to Master Chef we've seen over the years because they don't cook through. Nothing. worse than getting raw dough in a tortilla. Taking a big risk there."
Presenting to Judges
Adam: "We've made marinated skirt steak tacos, homemade tortillas, green tomato salsa, peach habanero hot sauce, and charro beans."
Judges
"The tortillas, in the history of MasterChef, rarely. rarely done right, but these look perfect. Amazing job."
"Delicious. Seriously. It's authentic. It's charming, but it's you guys on a platter, let me tell you."
"Tortillas are stunning thin. And beautifully toasted. I love the peach hot sauce, the salsa, freshness. Everything's there."
"And the steaks cook beautifully. So, yeah, you should be very proud of yourselves. Great job."
"When we talk about explosive flavor, this is explosive. You not only came and did an incredible dish, but you executed on a level that is very different. And, like, being smart about where you put your time. You did so much work. And as a Texan, this feels right at home for me. I like it. I want it."
