Everyone loves the tangy sauce that goes with these sizzling steak tacos. For an authentic feel, I like to wrap the tortillas in foil and steam them while the steak and onions are cooking. -Lois Szydlowski, Tampa, Florida

Steps:
- Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium-high heat; generously oil grates.
- Lightly brush corn with oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss onion with oil in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Grill both, turning often, until tender and charred in spots, 10-15 minutes for corn and 4-5 minutes for onions. Let corn cool slightly. Cut kernels from cobs and transfer to a medium bowl.
- Brush cheese with oil, season with salt and pepper, and grill, turning once, until charred and warmed through, about 2 minutes per side.
- Warm tortillas in a microwave or on cooler area of grill until soft and pliable. Divide cheese among tortillas, then top with corn, onion, avocado, salsa, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges alongside.
Tips:
- Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is the star of the show in these tacos, so it's important to use a cheese that melts well and has a lot of flavor. Some good options include cheddar, Monterey Jack, and pepper Jack. If you want to add some extra spice, you can also use a hot pepper cheese.
- Don't overstuff the tacos: These tacos are small, so it's important to not overstuff them. Otherwise, they'll be difficult to eat and the cheese will spill out. A good rule of thumb is to use about 1/4 cup of cheese per taco.
- Cook the tacos over medium heat: This will help to prevent the cheese from burning. If you cook the tacos over too high heat, the cheese will melt too quickly and become rubbery.
- Serve the tacos immediately: These tacos are best served hot and fresh. If you let them sit for too long, the cheese will start to harden and the tacos will become less enjoyable.
Conclusion:
Grilled cheese tacos are a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a party. They're also a great way to use up leftover cheese. With a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
