Easy Street Tacos

Simple street tacos are typically what I order anytime we’re out for Mexican. Seasoned meat, diced onions, fresh cilantro and avocados are all you need for flavorful tacos. My brother and mom were in town the other week for work and we whipped these up in no time. We topped ours with my homemade guacamole and paired it with a beer. If you’re pressed for time you could also cook the chicken in the crockpot during the day until dinner time.

Street Tacos
via simple recipes

ingredients:
corn tortillas
chopped fresh cilantro
minced onion
meat of choice (chicken, steak)
olive oil
garlic cloves, minced

directions:
Heat up a grill pan and drizzle a bit of oil on top. Chop the meat into strips, salt, and rub with garlic. Add the meat to the pan and leave it alone for a few minutes before flipping to crisp it up. Warm the tortillas in the microwave for about 45 seconds (stacked and wrapped in a paper towel). Fill tortillas with the meat, onion, and cilantro.

Top with fresh avocado slices or guacamole!

    OH yes… you have to have the fresh onion and cilantro to get that street food flavor going on.
