RECIPE
Steak Tacos
A few weeks ago Jimmy asked me to make some steak tacos. See we love steak tacos, it is usually our go to at Chipotle. However the last few times we have gotten steak tacos from there, well let’s just say they are nothing to write home about. So I was determined to make the best steak tacos for him. Let’s just say according to him I did.
I made these twice. The first time I marinated the meat for 3 hours and they were delicious. Jimmy was like man are these good. I was like wait until you try them when they have marinated for over 24 hours. Let’s just say they were a homerun. People at his work were like what are you eating that looks so good. He was like the best steak tacos and I am not sharing. I highly recommend marinating them for 24 hours, but anything less than that, they will still be amazing.
