Heat a grill over medium high heat. Remove steak from marinade and grill until charred on both sides and slightly less done than preferred. Remove from heat and cut into small cubes.
Heat a greased medium skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tortilla to pan and top with 1/2 cup cheddar, half of the cubed steak, 1/2 ounce cotija, then an additional 1/4 cup cheddar. Sprinkle with lime zest, 1 tablespoon cilantro, and 1 teaspoon chipotle in adobo sauce, if desired. Fold in half, cook until the first side is golden, then flip and continue cooking until the cheese is melted. Repeat with other tortilla.
