Tequila Lime Steak Tacos

Tequila Lime Steak Tacos4

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).Tequila Lime Steak TacosTequila Lime Steak Tacos1 Tequila Lime Steak Tacos2 Tequila Lime Steak Tacos5 Tequila Lime Steak Tacos3Signature
