Steak or Fish Tacos anyone?

Krista came to visit us this weekend. Since my sister was staying with us I decided that I needed to actually cook something. I've been in a cooking slump. Do you get that way? I love to cook. But for some reason this summer I haven't felt like spending time in the kitchen. For example it will be 7 p.m. and one of my girls will be hungry. I have been heard to say at this point, "go have a bowl of cereal." So I decided that I should actually cook something for dinner on Saturday night. And it would be fun because I could cook with my sister. And that would be fun, right? And it was. I had some of those yummy tortillas from Costco so we decided to do some kind of taco. Krista thought steak tacos sounded good. I thought fish tacos sounded good. I had never made either one before. I don't buy or eat steak. Like ever. So this would be new. And I love fish tacos if they are done right. And heck, if i'm making them myself then they will be done the way I like, right? So this is what the result was.

Here is a close up.



Krista and i didn't care for the fish taco that much. I used flounder for the fish and it was mushy. I don't like mushy. Neither does Krista. Chris ate all of the fish though. He loved it. I may try this again with a different type of fish.

Next up? Our Steak Tacos. Here is our close up.

Looks basically the same as the fish one, huh? Well, they are except for the meat. For the steak one I used Carne Asada and cut it up into tiny pieces. Then I put it in a bowl with 2 cloves of pressed garlic, lime juice, fresh cilantro and some sea salt. It was so good. I cooked it just until done so it wasn't too tough. That's my problem with steak. I don't like any red left in it and I don't want it to be tough. That's a hard combo to achieve. But I did it and It was divine. Krista and I loved it. Here is what we used.

Steak or fish tacos

Carne asada cut up small and cooked with garlic, lime, cilantro and salt
cooked fish dredged in flour and salt
coleslaw
tomatos
avocados
cilantro
limes
cheddar cheese
sour cream
tortillas (the ones you cook yourself are best)


In our opinion the coleslaw with the lime squeezed on top is what made them so good.
