  Preparing Skirt Steak
• Brush the cooking grates clean. Place the unpeeled garlic cloves in the centre of a small square of aluminum foil and fold up the sides to create a packet. Grill the garlic packet, the tomatillos, the onion quarters and the jalapeno, over direct medium heat, with the lid closed, until the vegetables are marked and softened, turning as needed. The tomatillos will take 7 to 10 minutes and the onion, jalapeno and garlic will take about 15 minutes. Remove from the grill and set aside until cool enough to handle.

• Increase the temperature of the grill to medium–high heat (200°C to 260°C).
• Peel the garlic. Cut the tomatillos into halves or quarters and cut the onion into chunks. Remove any loose skin from the jalapeno and remove its seeds. In a food processor or blender process the garlic, tomatillos, onion, jalapeno, cilantro, lime juice and ½ teaspoon of salt until puréed.
• Grill the steaks over direct medium–high heat, with the lid closed, until cooked to your desired doneness, 4 to 6 minutes for medium rare, turning once. Remove from the grill and let rest for 3 to 5 minutes. Cut the steaks into bite-sized pieces.
• In a saucepan over medium heat on the stove, warm the beans. In a large salad bowl combine the beans, chips, lettuce, tomatoes, steak, 240 millilitres of the salsa, the avocado and season with salt. Toss well. Sprinkle the cheese on top and serve with the remaining salsa on the side.
