- Grilled Spiced Sirloin (instead of the apricot-basted Lamb loin) as the meat for the soft tacos
- Tomato Salsa
- Guacamole
Here's what I did:
Grilled Spiced Sirloin
I invented this hahaha but was inspired of course by the episodes I watched from FoodTV, as well as recipes of Nigella lawson
Meat: 1 block (1/4 kilo, 1 1/2 inches thick) of sirloin steak
Spice Rub:
- Chili Powder (lotsa this!)
- Cumin
- Cayenne Pepper
- Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
- Salt and pepper to taste
*Sorry I don't have the exact measurements, but this really depends on your taste!
Grill the meat about 5-7 minutes on each side, depending on preferred done-ness. Let it stand for 10-15 minutes for the juices to go back to the meat, before thinly slicing it. Make sure each slice has a crispy portion. Yum-yum...
Salsa
Ingredients:
- 1 large tomato, cubed
- Chopped fresh coriander
- Chilies or chili powder (if desired)
- EVOO (drizzle until the tomatoes look luscious, maybe around 1-2 tbsp)
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- S&P to taste
Just mix them all together!
Guacamole
Loooove this!
Ingredients:
- 1 large ripe avocado, meat is cubed (diamond-shaped)
- Chopped fresh coriander
- Chilies or chili powder (preferred to have this!)
- Juice of 1 lime
- Cracked pepper (I just added this hehehe)
Again, just mix them together, making sure that the avocados are not mashed. Chunky for me is better. Hehehehe.
Anyway, my other condiments were:
- Sour cream
- Tortillas (heat them a little if they came from the ref)
- Prepared Salsa(not really needed, but since I have it on hand, I took it out as well)
- Shredded lettuce
- Cheese
- Nachos
Drinks: Apple juice (huhuhu... no margarita or sangria for me)
Gash... I ate two big soft tacos, and my helper was laughing when I said... "I don't want anymore, I'm soooo full...." Hahahaha!
Last night's dinner was really something, and I plan to do this again, but with the company of my friends and of course, my husband...
