salt, tomato paste and tequila in a blender or food processor and blend.
Pour over the steak, mix everything to coat the steak well, cover and set

carefully place the meat on the grill and cook to desired doneness. Place
the grilled steak on a cutting board and slice diagonally across the grain

grill, turning once. Place tortillas in a covered bowl to stay warm. Place
