Instructions

1. Put the meat in a large bowl with the marinade ingredients, mix well, cover and marinate at room temperature for about one hour. Meanwhile, start the charcoal.
2. When the charcoal is ready and the grill is very hot (about 450°F), arrange the vegetables and the chorizo, chorizo skin-side down. Cover, with vents open. Grill about 10 minutes, until the chorizo is cooked on the bottom and the vegetables are softening. Turn everything.
3. Cover and grill another 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are cooked and the chorizo is brown and crispy. Peppers should be well blackened and nopales turn olive green.
4. Keep the vegetables and chorizo warm in a low oven (200°F) while you grill the meat.
5. Cover the grill and let it reheat to about 450°F.
6. Grill the carne asada in single layers, about a minute or two per side, until browned with grill marks. Work in two batches, keeping cooked meat warm in the oven.
7. Let the grill cool to around 300-350°F to cook the quesadillas and heat the tortillas for tacos.
8. Slice the carne asada against the grain, slice the nopales and peppers, and chop the chorizo. Serve with salsa and the roasted jalapeños and bulb onions.
