This dish is similar to a burrito, with meat wrapped in a tortilla. Ground beef kebab can be used as the filling, but we opted for a tri-tip steak—a triangular muscle cut from the top of the thigh. This delicious kebab is marinated in a spicy salsa verde sauce. It's served on romaine lettuce leaves with grilled tortillas and mango slices.

The recipes use measuring containers with the following volumes:
1 glass (st.) - 250 ml.
3/4 cup (st.) - 180 ml.
2/3 cup (st.) - 160 ml.
1/2 cup (st.) - 125 ml.
1/3 cup (st.) - 80 ml.
1/4 cup (st.) - 60 ml.
1 tablespoon (tbsp) - 15 ml.
1 teaspoon (tsp) - 5 ml.
1/5 teaspoon (tsp) - 1 ml.

Ingredients for the recipe:

600 gr. beef steak tri-tip
2 large wheat tortillas
2 cups cilantro (leaves and soft stems)
3 green onions
Juice of 1 lime plus 1 lime, cut into 8 wedges
1 tbsp red wine vinegar

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Prepare salsa verde sauceUsing a food processor, pulse 1 3/4 cups cilantro, green onion, lime juice, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper until smooth. With the food processor running, pour in the olive oil and puree until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Season with additional salt and pepper.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

Prick the meat all over with a fork to loosen it, then cut into 2.5cm cubes; toss with 2 tablespoons salsa verde and season with salt and pepper. Thread onto 8 metal skewers, topping each with a lime wedge; set aside.

Tear off a 16-inch piece of foil. Place 1 tortilla on the left side of the foil; sprinkle with cheese and the remaining 1/4 cup cilantro, then top with the second tortilla. Fold over the right side of the foil and seal the edges to form a packet.

Brush the grill grate with olive oil. Grill the kebabs, turning occasionally, for 4-6 minutes, until medium-rare. Transfer to a plate and let rest. Meanwhile, grill the quesadillas for about 2 minutes per side, until the cheese is melted.
Remove from foil and cut into triangles. Serve the kebabs on lettuce leaves with the remaining salsa verde, quesadilla pieces, and mango slices.
