Thursday Taco Cravings

So it turns out that today, Thursday, is an amazing day for tacos. Eric and I have been suffering from taco cravings for at least the past three days, made several failed attempts to procure them, and finally decided to satiate our search today at not only one meal, but two! I got home from work to sadly discover that there were no tortillas to be found in the kitchen and rather than venture out into the noisy, overly-populated city, I decided to try my hand at hand-made corn tortillas, which turned out a little less than perfect, but when topped with smoked salmon and parsley were delicious nonetheless! I'm definitely determined to get those tortillas perfect... stay tuned for that! Yumm!!!

And then later, for dinner, we made the most delicious steak and corn salsa tacos that inspired every single taste bud in my tongue to tingle with delight and.. well.... the taco cravings are now gone!

Craving-Satiating Steak Tacos:

1 lb steak of your choice

Pinch of Cinnamon, Pimentòn, Cumin, Salt, and Pepper

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

2 cloves garlic, crushed

1/2 red onion, diced

1 stalk corn, steamed in it's stalk and the corn cut off

2 scallions, chopped

1 tomato, diced

1/4 fresh lime juice

1 Tbs cilantro

6 corn tortillas

1. Marinate the steak in the spices, garlic, and 1/4 cup of the onion (let it sit for at least 1 hour)

2. Make the salsa by combining the corn, 1/4 cup red onion, scallion, tomato,cilantro, and lime juice

3. Sear the steak and cook about 4-6 minutes on each side. Remove from heat when it's just under the desired done-ness and let rest for a few minutes

4. De-glaze the pan with water and add the marinating ingredients to the liquid while it reduces

5. Slice the steak and add back to the reduced sauce just to glaze

6. Cook the tortillas and add meat and salsa

Happy Eating!!!

Luv,
