Tips:

  • Choose the right steak: For the best flavor and texture, use a skirt steak or flank steak. These cuts are relatively inexpensive, but they have a lot of flavor and can withstand the high heat of the grill.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a flavorful mixture of spices, herbs, and citrus juice will help to tenderize the meat and add extra flavor.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: This will help to create a nice char on the outside of the steak while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
  • Let the steak rest before slicing: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more flavorful and tender steak.
  • Serve the tacos with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include salsa, guacamole, sour cream, pico de gallo, and shredded cheese.

Conclusion:

Nogales steak tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The combination of flavorful steak, fresh vegetables, and tangy salsa makes these tacos a hit at any party or gathering.
