Steak Tacos
1 T. Chili Powder
2 cloves of garlic, minced (about 2 tsp)
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground cumin
pinch of cayenne (optional)
1 1/4 pound top sirloin steak
12 - 6 inch tortillas (white or corn)
2 cups shredded red cabbage
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 lime, cut into wedges
also: Grated cheddar cheese and sour cream
In a small bowl combine the dry spices. Rub the spice mixture on both sides of the steaks.
Grill the steaks for 5 minutes per side - flipping only once. Remove from grill and let sit for about 5 minutes. Carve into thin slices. (your mama sometimes doubles the dry rub recipe and coats a couple of chicken breasts, as well. Requires longer cooking time)
Warm the tortillas by placing between two moist paper towels and microwave for a minute.
Place carved meat, tortillas, cabbage, cilantro, lime wedges, shredded cheese, sour cream and Avocado mixture in serving dishes and let your diners make their own tacos at the table.
Cilantro-Lime-Avocado Salsa
2 medium Firm-ripe avocados, peeled, chopped
1/4 cup chopped, fresh cilantro
1 lime juiced
1 lemon juiced
Salt and pepper to taste
Dump it all together and mash. If you want to make it more of a traditional guac - add 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely chopped and 1/2 red onion, diced.
