Steak Tacos with Lime Mayo

Ingredients

For the steak

  • 1 steak
  • 1 tsp ground chipotle pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp paprika to taste
  • salt to taste

Peppers and Onions

  • 1/2 green pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
  • 1/2 red pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
  • 1/2 an onion, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 Tbs oil
  • salt or garlic salt to taste

For the lime mayo

  • 3 Tbs mayonnaise
  • 1 Tbs lime juice
  • 1 tsp grated lime zest
  • 1 clove garlic

And the rest

  • corn tortillas
  • grated cheese
  • sliced lettuce
  • chopped avocado or avocado tomato salsa or plain salsa

Instructions

  • Season the steak with the chipotle pepper, paprika and salt and set aside until you're about 15 minutes from wanting to eat. Preheat the grill.
  • Heat the oil in a skillet and add the sliced onions and peppers. You can cook these to your taste, either lightly and leave the peppers with a bit of crunch to them or longer. I like to cook them about 10 minutes over medium heat, stirring, then turn the heat off or way down low and just before serving. Then I turn the heat up and get them hot again just before serving.
  • Mix up the lime mayo while the peppers are cooking and get all the condiments (lettuce, cheese, salsa) ready.
  • Grill the steak until done to your liking and let rest 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
  • I like to serve everything in small bowls and let people build their own tacos to taste, so I heat the corn tortillas in a cast iron skillet and serve them with everything at the table. You can cover them with a towel to keep warm.
