Steak Tacos with Mango Salsa
Jalapeños are the most popular chile peppers in the US. This is probably due to the availability and versatility of the chile. Jalapeños have a balanced combination of flavor and heat. The demand for these have caused breeders to develop a broad range of varieties.
Serves: 2-4
INGREDIENTS
1 lb beef, grilled and thinly sliced
1 avocado, peeled and cubed
1 Boston lettuce, chopped
1 jalapeno, cubed
1 mango, cubed
2-3 Roma tomatoes, cubed
2-3 small shallots or green onions, chopped (your choice)
¼ cup cheddar cheese, shredded
¼ cup cilantro, chopped
juice from 1-2 limes
pepper to taste
shrimp (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
You can use whatever beef cut you like. I bought one of those big pieces of roast beef and instead of using an oven, I sliced it in 2 inch pieces and grilled it. After it was done, I sliced it again as thinly as I could and that is what I used on my tacos.
Clean and chop all the veggies and start making your salsa. Mix everything in a big bowl along with juice from 1 or 2 limes (the more the merrier). Add pepper to taste.
Build your tacos using lettuce as first layer then in order, steak, salsa, shredded cheddar cheese. Top with some shrimp if you want and a couple of cilantro leaves or slices of jalapeno for composition.
Makes enough for two hungry people but you can stretch it to four.
