This is all going to be worth it in less than 2 hours :)
Good thing I had a cute helper
Meat Marinade:
"Mojo Sauce" (food network)
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 jalapeno, minced
- 1 large handful fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 limes, juiced
- 1 orange, juiced
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1/2 cup olive oil
My directions:
Add all ingredients to a blender, way faster than using a mortar and pestle :)
Tacos:
1.5 lb- 2lb thinly slice sirloin steak (I buy whatever is cheapest other than chuck steak), marinated the steak 1-6 hours in the "mojo sauce"
- I dice the meat because it marinates better and cooks faster
Cooking:
Cook the meat until desired done-ness on the the stove and then serve in pan warmed corn tortillas (I like to spray them with Pam to make them crispy)
Garnishes:
Guacamole, cilantro, white onions minced, lime wedges, salsa of your choice
