Grilled skirt steak meets warm, fresh tortillas, black bean salad, and a kicked-up beer cocktail.

This menu serves six, though you'll need to scale up the Michelada recipe. The shopping list reflects the scaled-up amounts.

Punch up your Memorial Day cookout or Fourth of July with a little Tex-Mex flavor: the grilled skirt steak is marinated in the elements of a margarita—lime, tequila and Cointreau—then topped with a spicy grilled tomatillo salsa. Wrap it up in warm corn tortillas (make your own homemade ones to really wow your guests), and round out the menu with two bright, fresh veggie salads sparkling with cilantro, lime juice, and jalapeño. Cool things off by sipping on a refreshing Michelada: lager with a kick.
