]]>Lime Churrasco Tacos
Ingredients
juice of 8 limes
sea salt
churrasco steak, butterflied and lightly piereced with a paring knife
warm corn tortillas
corn, tomato, avocado, mango, sour cream, lime juice, hot sauce, cilantro, salt, fresh cracked black pepper for taco toppings
Prepare
1. Place churrasco on cutting board and butterfly so you get two flanks with an even thickness.
2. Pierce lightly all over both pieces with a paring knife. This will allow the meat to absorb extra lime juice while marinating.
3. Place both pieces into a gallon sized Ziploc bag along with 1 tbsp. coarse sea salt and lime juice. Shake vigorously and let marinate for twelve or more hours in the refrigerator.
4. Preheat grill, remove steaks from marinade/bag, and grill for about 4 minutes per side on high heat over direct flames or until medium.
5. Remove steaks from grill, place onto plate, and cut diagonally into small pieces.
6. Place on a warm corn tortilla and top with desired toppings and devour responsibly!

]]>There are so many quick and easy recipes in this book that are perfect for those days when you come home tired from work and are in need of some quick-to-fix comfort food. One of my signature dishes that everyone requests is actually from this book…Super Sloppy Joes. I’ve had Sloppy Joes before and after trying this recipe and I tell you none come close to Rachael’s.
So after a long day, for that football game you’re heading to, or for a family get together…this is sure to please anyone and everyone even if they say they’re not big fans of Sloppy Joes.
Also, if Rachael Ray’s recipes entice you then so will her many kitchen products. I happen to own her 5 and 7 inch santoku knives by Furi and besides having a comfortable rubber grip for safe and quick chopping, they slice like a dream! I also have her Froggi mezzaluna for chopping up smaller veggies and such.
