Tacos are the new sandwich. Have a random assortment of leftovers to depressing to put on a plate? Wrap them up in a tortilla and call it lunch. That’s what I do nearly every weekday.

We have taco night once a week. Sometimes twice. It’s our go-to quick dinner when I don’t feel like cooking. Meat, cheese, salsa, and a tortilla. It’s the perfect pairing of smokey, grilled meat and cold, fresh avocado. Soft tortillas and crisp, fresh salsa. Chicken. Pulled pork. Shrimp. Barbecued beef. It usually takes a long while to circle back and hit a repeat!

Grilled sirloin is usually one of our top choices for steak tacos. It’s flavorful and it cooks quickly on the grill. We hit it with a hefty dose of black pepper, grill it, and then hit it with a hefty dose of lime juice. I should really try to not feel like cooking more often 🙂
