FOOD!

So... I'm no chef or anything but in the last week or so I've tried to find things to keep me busy (this blog being one of them). The other day I made steak tacos and they turned out pretty good, so i thought I'd share.
What you will need:
  • boneless steak, it was not to thin not too thick 
  • A 1/2 of an onion
  • Adobo seasoning or Lawrys
  • salt/pepper
  • Goya Cilantro base 2 spoonfuls
  • Goya Tomato base (found in the hispanic isle) 2 spoonfuls
  • tortillas (I prefer corn, but whatever floats your boat) 
  • sazon packet (adds a little flavor but mainly for the color)
Don't get turned away by these bases, they do not taste like either tomato or cilantro but add tons of flavor your your meat!

Preparation:

All I did was cut out the fat and slice the steak into bite size pieces, add the all purpose seasoning and let sit for about 5 minutes while you get your pan together and cut the onion.

Cooking:

Have your stove on meduim heat and put in your steak meat, let it cook for about 3-5 minutes and turn for another 3-5 minutes. If you feeling like the stove is too high turn it down, however you will need to keep your meat on longer.

Next add your onions and turn stove to low/medium heat and let cook. Add spoonfuls of bases and sazon and let cook, maybe another 5-10 minutes on low.

Sorry I'm not too good with the timing, but make sure you cook thoroughly, but make sure you aren't burning it! Once you think it is done take a thicker piece out and cut it in half to make sure it's fully cooking, no red meat!

As long as you cook it long enough turning evenly and are patient you will be fine.

Ok and WAAA LAAA:
You can add your topping as desired, but these had so much flavor none needed!

OH ... and a trick for warming corn tortillas:
Place a damp paper towel in the microwave put tortilla on it and place another damp towel on top.
Microwave for 25 to 30 seconds, no more no less or you will get a HARD shell =(
