Ingredient List
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 package (1 oz) Old El Paso™ original taco seasoning mix
- 1 tablespoon jerk seasoning
- 1 beef flank steak (1 1/4 lb), trimmed of excess fat
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 teaspoons packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped seeded serrano chile
- 1 cup coarsely shredded peeled jicama
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced on the bias, whites and greens separated
- 1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
- 8 Old El Paso™ soft flour tortilla Taco Bowls™
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper
- 1 ripe medium mango, seed removed, peeled and diced
Preparation
- Position oven rack 4 inches from broiler. Spray 18x13-inch rimmed sheet pan with cooking spray. In small bowl, mix oil, taco seasoning mix and 2 teaspoons of the jerk seasoning. Place steak on pan; rub oil mixture into steak.
- Broil 8 to 10 minutes, turning steak once, until instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of steak reads 135°F (for medium). Transfer steak to cutting board; cover with foil, and let rest 5 minutes. Cut beef across grain, on the bias, into very thin slices.
- Meanwhile, in medium bowl, mix remaining 1 teaspoon jerk seasoning, the lime juice, brown sugar, soy sauce and serrano chile. Add jicama, green onion whites and cilantro; toss to coat.
- Heat bowls as directed on package. Divide steak among bowls; top with bell pepper, jicama mixture, mango and green onion greens.
Expert Tips
- We used a serrano chile for these bowls, but if you want even more Jamaican flavor, instead of serrano, use just 1 teaspoon of the scorching hot Caribbean Scotch Bonnet pepper, or habanero chile, which is very similar.
- Is your mango ripe? Unlike many tropical fruits, color is not an indicator of mango ripeness. Instead, smell the mango around the stem; if it smells like mango, that’s a good sign. A sour smell indicates an overripe fruit. Then gently squeeze the fruit. It should give a little, but it should not be squishy. Until ripened, store mangos at room temperature. Once ripe, the fruit can be refrigerated for up to four days.
