I'm pretty sure my taste buds are Mexican because I LOVE Mexican food! Who has the time to cook a complicated meal during the week? Not me.... my go to meal on Tuesdays are tacos... Taco Tuesday!
So if you want to throw something together that's healthy and quick, this is your kind of recipe!
Skirt steak is the best kind of steak for tacos because it's juicy, thin and it cooks very quickly. I like to marinate the meat the night before. You can toss your steak into a large ziplock bag and sprinkle a pouch of Trader Joe's taco seasoning on the steak. Add some olive oil (4 Tbsp), lock the bag and shake the bag to ensure the seasoning has covered all of the skirt steak. Leave the bag in the fridge overnight.
Add 2 tbsp olive oil into a cast iron skillet. Turn the heat onto high. You want to skillet to be very hot before you add the steak because you want a nice sear on the outside of the meat. Cook for 4 minutes and then flip the steak, cooking an additional 4 minutes. The steak, depending on the thickness should be cooked to a medium temperature. Do not overcook the skirt steak or it will be tough and not as tender and juicy.

Take the steak out of the pan and place it on a cutting board to let it rest. When you let the steak rest before you cut it, the steak holds the juices and the steak is juicier. Let it rest about 3-4 minutes.

Slice the steak about a 1/4 of and inch, into thin strips and if you like, you can make the pieces smaller by cutting it down the middle as well.
Slice the avocado length wise and chop fresh tomatoes into small cubes. Squeeze some fresh lime over the tomatoes to give them some extra flavor.

Warm the tortillas in the oven, I usually broil them for about 1-2 minutes just to warm them up.
Assemble your taco... Thyme 2 Taste!!
Ingredients:
Skirt Steak 1lb
1 pkg. Trader Joe's taco seasoning
6 Tbsp Olive Oil (4Tbsp oil in the marinade and 2Tbsp in the pan before you add the steak)
3 Roma tomatoes
1 avocado
1 lime
Serves 4
Ingredients that I do not have but you can add is salsa, white onions and cilantro, cheese, sour cream, guacamole.... etc.
If you do not have a Trader Joe's close to your neighborhood, you can order it on Amazon or try a regular taco seasoning. Or maybe I need to make my own taco seasoning? Perhaps that will be one of my next recipes. Enjoy!
