Notes
Easy Way:
It makes it easier if the meat is chopped BEFORE cooking. At taquerias, they will take the grilled meat, chop it up, grill the meat again to get it crispy, then assemble the mulita.
By chopping it up before cooking, we are skipping an extra step.
Traditional Way:
However, you can go the traditional route and grill the flank steak, chop it up, add to a hot skillet to crisp up, then assemble. Or better yet, use leftover carne asada.
Pro Tips:
- Oiling the griddle is optional, but the oil will help make the tortillas CRISPY. The tortillas will cook with or without the oil. As long as the cheese is melted inside, you’re good to go.
- If any cheese oozes out, it’s ok! Kinda like Tacos Gobernador and Birria Tacos, the cheese forms a crust that’s undeniably yummy.
