Add the meat and sear 1-2 minutes. Place the warm steak in a clean bowl and reserve. Place the sauté pan back on the high heat with a little olive oil. Cook the vegetables for 2-3 minutes to soften. Place in clean bowl and reserve. Place some of the meat in the middle of a tortilla, then top with some of the vegetables and shredded lettuce. Pull the cilantro leaves off the stem and place on top. Finish with your favorite sauce. Fold the tortillas and serve. Makes 4 tacos. | |
* I won't be using bell peppers or the cilantro. We'll use spelt tortillas. I'll be using my pickled jalapenos that I canned last summer. Daughter One's plate Daughter Two's plate **These were great. Easy to make. |
This blog is designed to help you use the produce from your CSA harvest box. I design the meals based on the goodies from the Los Poblanos Organics CSA in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Lots of recipes to choose from, photos from my plate, and comments on each. The weekly plan including the harvest box contents can be found in the left-most tab named This Week's Menu. Enjoy!
