Steak Tacos

Aaaahhh mexican food.  It is one of my favorite foods.  These steak tacos are quick and easy- and they don’t heat up the house!!  Just grill up some steak and add your favorite toppings.  I love easy, especially when you have to take care of a newborn.  Yep we had our little girl at the end of May and she is so precious.  So I don’t want to spend a lot of time slaving in the kitchen when I could be holding my little one.  They get so big so fast.    I like to top these tacos with pico de gallo and avocado but feel free to use whatever toppings you like best.  Add a side of rice and you have it made.

Ingredients

• 2 lbs beef steak of choice
• 1/2 c. lime juice
• 2 TBSP oil

Instructions

1. Trim any fat from the steaks and place in a large ziploc bag.

3. Preheat grill and grill steaks over medium to medium high heat until desired doneness. I cooked ours about 4 minutes total. This will vary greatly depending on the cut and thickness and how well done you want your steak.
4. Remove from grill and let rest for a couple of minutes.
5. Slice into 1/2' wide strips.
6. Fill tortilla with meat, avocado and pico de gallo.
