Something a little different

A few days ago, I was thinking since moving into our new place we hadn’t had a taco night yet. Well it was more of a burrito – but does it really matter?

This is the sauce Ruben used to marinate the steak last night – it was so good, we decided to make the meat again for our taco night tonight.

When marinating meat, we’ve found taking as much air out of the Zip Loc works best – the only way out for the sauce is actually INTO the steak 🙂 My mouth actually waters thinking of how good they smell when they’re in there for just a couple of hours.

Always remember, even if you just have an hour or even 30 minutes to marinate your meat – it’ll be well worth it in flavor when it’s time to eat.

One of my favorite things to put in my burritos are grilled peppers and onions. They’re so sweet and balance out the taste of the meat you put into your burrito. I sliced green, yellow and red peppers and yellow onions (1 of each). This would be enough for 4-6 burritos.

I put them in a pan with a small amount of extra virgin olive oil, which was already warm. After about 15 minutes at medium heat, this is what I got.

Here’s the picture of everything set on the table for the fiesta! The tallest container has the grilled peppers and onions, then there’s sour cream, grated cheddar cheese, grated mozarella and chopped tomatoes (clockwise).
