Flank Steak Tacos

Tacos are kind of amazing. Especially when they're easy to make and good for you! I'm a huge fan of fish tacos and shrimp tacos, but I saw a lovely Flank steak at Kroger and decided that I would go that route. We rarely eat red meat, but it just seemed like one of those times. So, I turned the grill on and got to cookin'!

Flank Steak Tacos

For the steak:

Olive oil

Flank steak

Chili powder

Cinnamon

Cayenne pepper

Salt

2 cloves garlic

For the salsa:

1/2 cup pre-made salsa

1 large cucumber, peeled, seeded, and diced

1/2 small red onion, slivered

1 lime, juiced

1/4 cup fresh tomato, chopped

1 avocado, diced

1/2 cup red, yellow, and orange bell peppers, diced

For the slaw:

1/4 bag slaw mix

1/4 cup yellow bell pepper, cut into strips

1 lime, juiced


While the grill heats, rub the steak with olive oil (enough to coat it). Then sprinkle it with the spices. Put the garlic cloves through a garlic press and rub it around on both sides of the steak. Grill it for about 10-15 minutes (however you want it).



Here's Ryan - hanging out by the grill on our back porch. :)

Mmmmm... here's the steak! Let it rest for about 10 minutes.

After the meat has rested, slice it thinly. Yum.

For the slaw, simply mix the above ingredients together and toss.

For the salsa, again, mix all the ingredients and toss! I told you this was easy...

Now, all you have to do is pile it on a tortilla in whatever order you want. I wouldn't eat this with the new in-laws or anything... it definitely dribbled down my face. But, it was worth it!

Enjoy!
