Last weekend we had some of my old college girlfriends up with their families for a BBQ.

It was the first time we had gotten our families together.

I can’t believe that between us we have 9 kids.

Oh, how times have changed!

Instead of planning after hours parties and heading to the cafeteria to eat away a hangover…

We were discussing what kind of bottles we thought worked best and how many soccer practices a week a 5 year old should have.

Oh how the mighty have fallen…

Well, before the party the hubs freaked out and didn’t think we had enough food.

Really, honey?

Have you met me?

Of course we have enough food.

Yet, off he went to the store to purchase more and he came home with meat…lots and lots of meat.  Needless to say I have about 7 extra steaks in the fridge to use up this week.  Get ready for some steak leftover recipes guys!  Grill a lot of it this weekend…you’ll be glad you did.

Serves 4  Prep Time: 1o minutes  Cook Time:  15 minutes

1 T canola oil

2 large leftover steaks (you know the one your hubs thought you needed)  If you are a vegetarian you could use portobello mushrooms instead

1 large onion, sliced

1 red pepper, sliced

1 yellow pepper, sliced

1 t garlic powder

1/2 t dried oregano

1/2 T ground cumin

1/2 T ground corriander

1/2 T chili powder

1/2 cayenne pepper

S&P

tortillas

shredded cheese

guacamole

sour cream

hot sauce, this is optional, but I like it spicy!

In a large cast iron skillet heat your oil over medium high heat.  When the oil is hot add your onion and peppers.  Saute for about 5 minutes until they are softened, season with S&P.  Toss in your leftover steak and season with the remaining spices and additional S&P.  Cook until heated through, about another 5 minutes.

Build your taco by laying your steak taco mixture in the middle of your tortilla.  Top with cheese, sour cream, quacamole, and hot sauce.  Need some good guacamole recipes?  Here are two of my favorites…

Tyler Florence’s Guacamole

Barefoot Contessa’s Guacamole

My guacamole is kind of a combo of these.  I’ve made a lot of guac in my day and I’d swear by these two.  YUMMY!!!

Happy Friday Follow all! Please leave me a note to say you were here and I’ll get ya back over the weekend!
