Categories     main-dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound skirt steak
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Eight 6-inch corn tortillas
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 medium red onion, halved and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
Sour cream, guacamole, salsa verde, pico de gallo and shredded Mexican-blend cheese, for serving

Steps:

  • Cut the steak along the grain into 3-inch pieces, then slice each piece across the grain into 1/3-inch-thick strips. Toss the steak in a medium bowl with the chili powder, oregano, sugar, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Meanwhile, wrap the tortillas in a clean dishcloth, and microwave at 100 percent for 1 minute. Let sit, wrapped in the dishcloth, until ready to serve.
  • When the skillet is hot, add the oil. Add the seasoned steak in an even layer. Don't stir for 2 minutes, then give the steak a good stir and let cook until browned, about 1 1/2 minutes more. Transfer the steak to a medium bowl. Immediately add the onions to the skillet, and stir until brown and slightly softened, about 1 1/2 minutes; transfer to the bowl with the steak, and stir to combine.
  • Set up a taco bar with the steak and onions, wrapped tortillas, sour cream, guacamole, salsa verde, pico de gallo and cheese.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your stir-fry.
  • Cut your vegetables into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you do, the vegetables will steam instead of fry.
  • Cook the vegetables over high heat. This will help them brown and caramelize.
  • Add the sauce at the end of cooking. This will prevent it from burning.
  • Serve immediately. Taco stir-fry is best enjoyed fresh out of the pan.

Conclusion:

Taco stir-fry is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. It is a great way to use up leftover taco meat, and it can also be made with ground beef, chicken, or tofu. This dish is also very versatile. You can add any vegetables that you like, and you can adjust the spiciness of the sauce to your liking. Taco stir-fry is a delicious and healthy meal that is sure to please the whole family.
