How to make Ancho and Cocoa Carne Asada

Preheat oven to 177°C.

Stir together ancho powder, cocoa, and cinnamon.

Pat steak dry and season with 3/4 teaspoons salt, then coat with spice mixture. Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then cook steak, turning once, 8 to 9 minutes for medium-rare.

While steak cooks, wrap tortillas in foil and warm in oven.

Let steak rest 5 minutes on a cutting board, then thinly slice across the grain at an angle.

Serve steak with warm tortillas and coleslaw mix.
