Step #6 Cut meat across the grain in1/2 inch thick & 3-4 inch long slices.
Step #7 Pour marinade into a freezer bag & add meat.

Step #9 Marinate for 24 hrs.
Step #10 Prepare grill.
Step #11 On a cutting board lay parallel about 2 inches apart 2 metal skewers.
Step #12 Lift meat from marinade-I prefer to use a colander over a large bowl.
Step #13 Thread meat strips onto a pair of skewers.
Step #14 Repeat.
Step #15 You will have 2 or 3 double skewers, depending on the length of your skewers.
Step #16 Cook on grill for about 20 mins-you want the meat well browned & a little crusty.
Step #17 Meanwhile in a medium saucepan over high heat bring 3/4 c water, rice, tomato sauce & remaining salt to a boil.
Step #18 Reduce heat to a simmer, cover & cook for 15 to 20 mins-check to make sure rice isn't sticking.
Step #19 In a small sauce pan over low heat/flame pour in beans with their liquid.
Step #20 Allow to simmer, stirring a few times to prevent sticking.
Step #21 Remove meat from grill & cover with foil wrap.
Step #22 Heat tortillas on grill, about 2 mins.
Step #23 To Assemble:.
Step #24 Remove meat from skewers.
Step #25 Cut into 1/4 inch wide strips.
