    <h2 class="block-title"><span>Directions</span></h2>

                            <li>Remove the zest from the lime, then juice the lime. Put both the zest and the juice in a small mixing bowl. Add the tequila, triple sec, and salt, and stir until the salt crystals dissolve. Whisk in the oil. Transfer to a resealable plastic bag, and add the meat. Seal, and refrigerate for several hours, or overnight.</li>
                                    <li>Make the salsa the day you plan to serve the steak. Add tomatoes, corn, beans, onions, garlic, and jalapeno in a mixing bowl. Stir in the lime juice, vinegar, cilantro, and cumin. Gently fold in the avocado with a rubber spatula. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cover, and refrigerate if not serving immediately.</li>
                                    <li>When ready to cook, start the Traeger grill on smoke with the lid open until the fire is established (4 to 5 minutes).</li>
                                    <li>Set the temperature to 450° (high if you have a manual controller) and preheat, lid closed, for 10 to 15 minutes.</li>
                                    <li>Remove the steak from the marinade, and dry with paper towels. Grill for 5 minutes per side, or until the steak is done to your liking.</li>
                                    <li>Transfer to a cutting board, and let rest for 2 minutes or more. Slice thinly on the diagonal. Serve with tortillas and the salsa.</li>
