Taco Tuesday: Thai-Mex Steak Tacos

February 10, 2015 by Jaida 2 Comments

Taco, taco maaaaaan. I’ve got to be a taco man – err wo-man, rather.

But you get the gist. I love Taco Tuesdays. Heck, I just love tacos! I was looking the other day and I have 69 tacos on the blog, including this one. 69, y’all. That is a LOT of tacos.  And a lot of deliciousness. I stopped doing Taco Tuesday for awhile because I thought maybe that was too many tortillas, but I just…couldn’t stay away. I love them too much! Besides, once a week isn’t terrible. Right? Right.  And I have a tasty one to share today:

Thai-Mex Steak Tacos
If I’m being honest, I think Thai and Mexican may be my two favorite flavor profiles, so the idea of combining them was almost too much for my brain to process. The result was just as perfect as I could have hoped for. Oh, and if you have a nice bottle of hot sauce, that’s a nice addition as well. We used our Belizean hot sauce that we bought while there on our cruise in December. It’s-a spiceeeeh!!
Thai + Mexican flavors marry together with tender steak to make one amazing taco.

Ingredients
  • 1 Tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite sized pieces
  • 1 cup light coconut milk
  • 1 Tbsp Thai red curry paste
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 8 tortillas (your choice – I used a corn and whole wheat blend)
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1 green onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 cup (or more) shredded cheese (I used a Mexi-blend)
Preparation
  1. Season the steak with cumin and chili powder, toss to evenly coat.
  2. Add coconut oil to a large sauce pan over medium heat. Sauté the garlic for about 30 seconds, then increase the heat to medium high and add the steak.
  3. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 4 minutes or until browned on all sides. Add the coconut milk, red curry paste and salt, and stir to combine. Cook for about 5 more minutes, until steak is cooked through and sauce has thickened.
  4. To assemble the tacos, warm your tortillas and top with Lay tortillas out, top with steak, avocado, green onion, cilantro, and shredded cheese. Use any leftover sauce from the pan to drizzle on top for some extra flavor!

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
