Tacos de Alambre

  • 1 lb steak cut into 1/2 inch cubes or strips.
    • Can also use chicken or shrimp. Add all 3 to make ‘combo’ Alambre!
  • Salt & Pepper
  • Taco/Mexican seasoning
  • 1/2 lime, juiced
  • 6 oz bacon cut into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 1-1/4 cup white onion, chopped (about 1/2 medium sized onion)
  • 1-1/4 cup red and green peppers, chopped
  • 6 oz Oaxaca or Muenster cheese
  • 12 medium sized corn or 8 medium sized flour tortillas
  1. Place chopped meat in a bowl. Squeeze the lime juice over the meat and season with salt & pepper and Taco/Mexican seasoning. Set aside.
  2. Place cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is really hot, start cooking the bacon. Cook for about 4 minutes, or until the bacon has started to release its fat and turns a light brown around the edge. At this point, you can remove some of the fat if you want
  3. Add the steak to the skillet with the bacon and cook, about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Stir in the chopped onion and peppers. Keep cooking for about 3-4 minutes, or longer if you like the veggies more tenderly cooked.
  5. Grate the cheese and cover the meat. Wait until it starts melting.
  6. Remove the skillet from the heat and cover with a lid. Warm the tortillas and serve in tacos with additional toppings as desired, such as:
    • Refried beans
    • lettuce
    • tomato
    • sour cream
    • green avocado tomatillo salsa
    • red taqueria salsa
    • diced onion
    • jalapenos
    • pico de gallo
