Tequila Lime Steak Tacos

Last week, these yummy steak were on the cheap at Kroger so I snatched them up. These tacos were yum de la yum! They had such a great zesty  flavor. Topped with cilantro, jalapeños, cheese and sour cream? Done and done. I imagine that avocados would be pretty excellent on these too. I’m just not the biggest fan of avocados (I know, I know. I think it’s a character flaw of mine).

Recipe for Tequila Lime Steak Tacos

adapted from here.

What you need:

• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 quarter of an onion
• 2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 1/4 cup lime juice
• 4 oz. tequila
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 2 sirloin or strip steaks (about 1 lb each)
• possible toppings: lime juice, jalapeños, sour cream, cheese, lettuce, guacamole

What to do:

1. Place first 9 ingredients ingredients in a food processor. Blend until smooth. Place steaks in casserole dish or ziplock bag. Cover with marinade and refrigerate for 4-6  hours.
2. Remove from fridge about one hour prior to cooking. Heat your grill pan over high heat and cook 4-5 minutes each side until reached desired doneness (I like mine a little red). If it’s nice out, cook on the grill outside!
3. Slice thinly and place in corn tortillas. Top with lime juice, cheese, sour cream, jalapeños, or whatever your heart desires!
