Grilled Steak Tacos

Grilled Steak Tacos

We’re in the middle of summer and grilling season.  We’ve got an awesome Grilled Steak Tacos recipe for you.  Jeff and I have been enjoying this for a few weeks, and we’ve finally “perfected the recipe,” and now we want to share it with you.

The thing that really makes this recipe is the grilled corn tortillas, so don’t skip that step.  If you do, “you be crazy!”  Grilled tortillas become chewy and a little crispy.  The grill gives them a smoky flavor that lends itself so well to the taco application.  Add two tortillas make this a “street taco.”

You can top them with anything you like, but we like to keep them simple by adding a little cabbage (for an awesome crunch), salsa, a homemade “crema,” and cilantro (of course).

You’ve GOT to try this one!  It’s like summer on a plate.
