To Go Tacos:

Ingredients: Feeds 2-3 people

1 NY strip 6-8 ounces

1 tsp salt and pepper

1 tsp garlic powder

1 Tbs your favorite hot sauce

1 tsp olive oil

12-15 tortillas (flour or corn)

1 cup fresh cilantro, minced

½ white onion, diced

Instructions: Combine salt, pepper, garlic powder, hot sauce, and olive oil in a sealable plastic bag. Mix around to incorporate all flavors. Add the meat and allow to marinate for about 1 hour. To cook the meat, place steak over a grill and cook for 7-8 minutes on each side for a medium/medium-well temperature. Allow meat to rest for about 5 minutes. Cut thinly. Place a few strips of meat in each tortilla (2 tortillas per serving), and top off with a few teaspoons of fresh cilantro and onions, which I learned is the most traditional topping for true tacos.
