Ingredients

I like these tacos and they go well with the beans below.

Carne Asada Tacos

1 lb. good quality tender beef - I use a good sirloin. Cut into thin strips about 1 and 1/2 long about 1/4 inch wide.

small amount of cooking oil.

salt and pepper

garlic powder

cilantro and onion chopped for garnish

8 flour or corn tortillas - This is allowing 2 ozs. of meat for each taco, but my kids stuff their tacos,so this is just a guideline .

slices of lime if desired. Can hold tortillas in a cloth towel and warm up in microwave.

This is the same way I cook steak. I don't like to add a whole lot of different spices to a good cut of steak. I want to taste the steak.

Open Kitchen windows

Using a paper towel, coat skillet (very light).

Heat cast iron skillet ( 10 inch skillet is good) til the pan starts to smoke a little.

salt, pepper and add garlic to meat.

add about half the meat and cook til done enough for your taste, if you like it well done put a lid on skillet and lower heat til done enough.

You can warm tortillas in a dry warm skillet. Let everyone make their own tacos and garnish with cilantro, onion, and a squeeze of lime. Fresh pico de gallo is also an option , I sent that recipe a few weeks ago. Cooking some sliced onions and bells in the skillet after the meat is done is also an option.

I had lunch with my Sister and Brother-in-law and the restaurant served this rice and it was called white Spanish rice and it is different. I would cut back on the lime a little.

Cilantro and Lime Rice

Ingredients

3 cups cooked brown rice (or white)

1 teaspoon lime zest, minced

1-2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

2-3 tablespoons cilantro, finely minced

Directions

Toss lime zest, lime juice, and cilantro with the cooked rice. Serve warm or cold.

Bunuelos:

Fry tortillas (Corn is best, but flour could work)til crisp. Drain on paper towels. Then dip in orange juice and dip into a mixture of cinnamon and sugar. This is quick and not bad. I suppose you could cut the tortillas into chips and fry them.

Bacon Avocado Guacamole:

4 ripe avocados - peeled, pitted, and mashed

4 slices bacon, cooked until crisp, drained and crumbled

1 large tomato, seeded and finely chopped

1 onion, finely chopped

1 clove garlic, minced

salt and pepper to taste

1 dash hot pepper sauce to taste (optional)

1 jalapeno De-seeded and De-veined optional,just leave off the hot sauce and add a little mayo.

Found this recipe online and sounds good, You can Shortcut by using a can of Rotel green chilies and tomatoes. Also can use about a tsp.( or to taste) of garlic powder instead of fresh garlic:

Borracho Beans

Serves 16 ( cut in 1/2 or a 1/4, but I like leftover beans and they will hold for a couple of days).

4 cups uncooked beans (preferably pinto beans)

4 quarts water

1 pound bacon or salt pork, chopped ( peppered bacon an option, so is a peppered jerky ground in a food processor, if you cant eat pork)

2 Serrano chilies, chopped (can use jalapeno be sure to De-seed and De-vein)

1 cup cilantro, chopped

1 tomato, chopped

3 cloves garlic, peeled

1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Salt to taste

1 can beer (optional)
