A few days ago Modgirl mentioned that she made myMarinated Grilled Flank Steaks. She said that the day
after, she used the leftovers to make tacos! So this evening
I tried her idea....I sprinkled the steak strips
with a little cumin before heating them up. Then they went
into the warm, crispy shells along with guacamole, shredded
cheese, sour cream, shredded romaine and home-canned
salsa from last year's summer tomatoes.
Thanks, Modgirl, for the fabulous idea! These
were the best tacos I've ever had!
When it gets close to summer tomato season,
I'll post my yummy salsa recipe! 
Yum, yum, yum! Your tacos are beautiful. I can't wait to get your salsa recipe as I have my own crop of tomatoes going. I'm glad you enjoyed your dinner.
ReplyDeleteModgirl ~ we certainly did....wonderful idea! I may have to post that recipe a little early for you southerners that already have plants going! Our tomatoes aren't ready to pick until September.
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love how tacos are so versatile! I am curious how the recipe would work with chicken tenderloins. Thanks for all the marvelous ideas, I hope you have a peaceful trip.
ReplyDeleteKim ~ yes, they are versatile! I've made them with chicken tenderloins before. I've put the taco seasoning packet on them, or just used the common seasonings from my pantry like cumin, hot sauce, chili, garlic and onion powder. The toppings are versatile, too! Yum...I wish there were leftovers of the leftovers!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful vacation! Make lots of pictures for us. Be careful and we will be thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteOh Betsy I've just sat down; I'm bone tired; on my feet all day, and the crushing weight of: what am I going to make for dinner when I can barely stand....
ReplyDeleteWell, seeing your post reminded me that I have soft taco kit in the cupboard! .... and if I can stir these old bones to go get some ground meat (unfortunately no leftover steak in the kitchen!)...then, that will be dinner. Thanks!~
Nanny ~ thanks so much for the travel wishes! I will take pics! :)
ReplyDeleteLavinia ~ So glad I could help with your dinner plans! :) Too bad you don't have a doggy bag from your wonderful lunch earlier this week!....or did it already go to the Bebbers??? :)
ReplyDeleteYummy! They looks good and I could munch on them this saturday evening.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness Betsy...they looks delicious! Presentation of that lovely plate..very nicely done... I am anxious for your salsa recipe...my son-in-law makes that as well...let me just say...it makes my nose runny and my eyes water..but the taste wonderful...
ReplyDeleteHi Mae ~ you know, I could, too! A couple of those sound very good right now! Thanks for the visit! I'll have to go over and visit you, too, this evening!
ReplyDeleteDeedee ~ Yes, I'll have to post it soon. Heat in food is like that, huh....it hurts, but it's worth it and you keep going back for more! ha-ha!
ReplyDeleteWow, the most amazing tacos I've ever seen i think! Yummmm...
ReplyDeleteMmm ~ hey, they were amazing! We're going to have to make sure we have leftovers every time we grill the flank steak now! Thanks to modgirl for the idea! ;)
ReplyDeleteYou're practically on your trip aren't you? Buon viaggio bella!
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day!
