Dairy, Gluten (from corn tortillas)
Ingredients
- 2 lbs beef skirt steak, thinly sliced
- 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
- 1 large white onion, finely chopped
- 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped
- 1 lime, juiced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 12 small corn tortillas
- 2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
- 1 cup crumbled queso fresco cheese
- 1 ripe avocado, diced
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced beef skirt steak, chopped cilantro, onion, jalapeño pepper, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium high heat. Cook the marinated beef in batches until cooked through, about 4 5 minutes per batch. Remove from skillet and keep warm.
- In the same skillet, warm the corn tortillas for about 10 seconds on each side to create a slight charred appearance.
- Assemble tacos by placing a generous portion of cooked beef onto each warmed tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, crumbled queso fresco cheese, and diced avocado.
- Drizzle sour cream over the assembled tacos and serve immediately.
Chef’s Insight
The key to these Copycat Restaurant Dinner Tacos is the perfect balance of flavors - tender beef, zesty citrus, creamy sour cream, and the smokiness from the griddle.
