Tonight's GF Taco Night - Steak

Taco night in our home is a Thursday/Friday, when we have leftovers but not enough quantity, which- with a little chopping and creativity- become a composed meal!

Notes
- The main components of a taco are the following:
Tortilla (or thinly sliced jicama for the carb-conscious);
Protein (or vegetarian filling);
Salsa (every house has its own- but you can use store-bought in a pinch); and
Toppings (we keep it simple: cilantro, chopped onion, and sometimes radish).
- We make tacos from whatever protein is leftover from the week. Tonight it was steak. Other nights it's grilled fish or rotisserie chicken. Often, I already have toppings chopped from prepping earlier in the week.
- Have fun!
Ingredients
Corn Tortillas (If you have a gluten allergy, ensure they are GF, as some brands mix corn with wheat flour.)
Leftover Steak (chopped into bite-size pieces)
Leftover Red Onion (finely chopped
Chopped Cilantro
Tomatillo-Serrano Salsa
Kosher Salt for Seasoning
1-2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Instructions
Prep all ingredients.
Heat skillet on medium high. When hot, add oil and chopped steak for a quick sear to heat but not overcook the meat. Taste for seasoning.
At the same time, begin heating your corn tortillas. (We heat on the stovetop on a non-stick surface.) You can also use jicama shells if carb-conscious.
To assemble, take a tortilla as the base. Place 1-2 tbsp of meat inside. Sprinkle with onion and cilantro. Repeat until you have your desired number of tacos complete.
Serve with tomatillo-serrano salsa, or your preferred salsa, on the side, so each person can control their desired level of heat.
