Oh my gosh these are SOOOO good!! My family can't get enough of these tacos! A little bit of extra work, preparing the beef, but soooo worth it! These are the best tacos in the world, I swear! :) We usually don't use the lettuce leaves, but just do soft or crunchy taco shells...but its still really good! Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs flank steaks |
2 limes, cut in wedges |
2 limes, juice of |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped |
2 tablespoons onions, chopped |
8 large romaine lettuce leaves (whole, washed and dried) |
2 cups lettuce, chopped (use remaining romaine) |
2 cups low-fat cheddar cheese, shredded |
1 cup diced tomato |
salsa, your choice |
Directions:
1. Prepare marinade for steak by using the juice from 2 limes, salt, pepper, cilantro and chopped onion.
2. Place all these in a plastic zip top style bag along with flank steak. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
3. Preheat grill, bbq, George Foreman or oven broiler.
4. Grill steaks over coals for about 4-6 minutes per side. Let it rest a few minutes before cutting steak into slices about 1/8-1/4 inch thick.
5. Cut remaining limes in half.
6. Using the Romaine lettuce leaves, fill with the remaining shredded Romain lettuce, tomatoes, steak strips, cheese and salsa.
7. Squeeze juice of half a lime over each wrap, wrap it up and enjoy!
