Description
This Cheesy Beef Street Tacos recipe delivers the bold flavors of traditional street tacos with a cheesy twist.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb flank steak or skirt steak
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 4 small flour tortillas
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
- To start creating your mouthwatering Cheesy Beef Street Tacos, pat the steak dry using paper towels. This step helps achieve a nice sear when cooking. Season both sides of the steak generously with taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. Then, drizzle the lime juice over the meat. This adds flavor and helps tenderize the beef. Allow the seasoned steak to marinate for about 10-15 minutes.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat until it’s hot but not smoking. Carefully place the marinated steak on the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Once cooked, remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes.
- While the steak is resting, it’s time to make the creamy cheesy sauce that will elevate your tacos. In a bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, shredded cheddar cheese, and lime juice. Stir the mixture well until it becomes smooth and creamy.
- To enhance the overall taco experience, it’s important to warm the tortillas before assembling. Heat a dry skillet over medium heat and place each tortilla in the skillet, warming for about 30 seconds per side.
- Now comes the fun part: assembling your Cheesy Beef Street Tacos! Take each warmed tortilla and place a generous portion of the sliced beef in the center. Drizzle the luscious cheesy sauce over the beef, letting it cascade down the sides. Finally, sprinkle fresh cilantro on top.
- Once your tacos are assembled, serve them immediately for the best experience.
Notes
Ensure the skillet is preheated before adding the meat to achieve a good sear for flavor.
