Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 ½ Cups steak cooked and chopped
  • 1 Can black beans 15-Ounce, rinsed
  • 3 Cups pepper jack cheese 12 Ounces, shredded
  • 8 Ounces tortilla chips
  • ½ onion small, chopped
  • 1 Cup corn kernels fresh, from 2 ears of corn
  • 1 Cup enchilada sauce any kind
  • ¼ Cup black olives sliced, optional
  • salt and black pepper to taste

To Serve

  • lime or lemon wedges
  • fresh cilantro

Instructions

  • Prepare your grill for indirect cooking and heat it up to medium.
  • Toss the meat with the onion, corn, enchilada sauce, beans, and two-thirds of the cheese in a bowl.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Make six 12-inch squares of aluminum foil.
  • Divide the chips, steak mixture and remaining cheese between them, leaving a 3-inch border. You can add sliced olives on top if liked.
  • Fold the foil over the filling to make a packet and crimp the foil edges to seal.
  • Cook the foil packets over indirect heat until the steak is warmed through and the cheese has melted, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the foil packets onto serving plates and open carefully.
  • Top with lime or lemon wedges and/or cilantro if liked, and serve.

Notes

Chip choice: Thick chips prevent sogginess.
Foil seal: A tight seal keeps cheese from leaking into the fire.
Serving: Let packets rest briefly before opening to avoid steam burns.
