I have been married to a wonderful Christian man since 1976. The Lord has blessed us with two daughters and two sons. I consider each day the Lord gives me on the earth yet another chance to serve Him.

Street Tacos

I love these tacos.  I'll take these over American Taco's any day!   The fresh cilantro makes it so good.



STREET TACOS
(makes 4 tacos)

Marinade Ingredients:
*1 pound of steak (i use either strip steak, sirloin steak or a flank steak)
*2 cups freshly squeezed orange juice (you can use store bought oj)
*lime juice, squeezed from 1 lime
*1 teaspoon ground cumin
*1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
*2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
*1/2 teaspoon salt
*1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Ingredients:
*1 white onion, chopped
*1/8-1/4  cup fresh cilantro, chopped
*8 white corn small tortillas
*Verde Salsa (optional)

Directions:
~Slice steak into thin slices, cut slices in half if they are long (you can grill it first and the slice it if you prefer).
~In a gallon size zip-loc bag, mix all marinade ingredients except the steak.
~Mix well and then add steak.
~Seal and refrigerate for 4-36 hours (I like to marinate over night for more tender meat).
~In a small bowl, mix chopped onions and chopped cilantro, and set aside.
~Remove steak from marinade and discard marinade.
~In a cast iron pan or grill, grill steak until desired doneness (it will only take a 2-5 minutes to cook).
~Remove steak from pan and drizzle a little oil in pan.
~Cook corn tortillas in pan (about 1 minute on each side).
~Remove tortillas from pan.
~Layer 2 tortillas together, spoon steak in tortilla and top with onion cilantro mixture.
~I like top with verde sauce, but it's good without it too.
