Grilled Steak sandwiches AND tacos ( from a few days ago)


Charlie and Cassie made dinner tonight.  Charlie grilled the steak in the cast iron grill pan on the stove, I cut up the avocados, onions and cilantro, Cassie made the mayo sauce and assembled the sandwiches.

    TACOS
    A couple days ago I made tacos. I browned a pound of ground beef, added about three tablespoons of Spanish Gardens taco spice mix and half a cup of tomato salsa and simmered it until the salsa was absorbed into the meat.  Guacamole: Avocado mashed with salsa, onion, cilantro, salt, lime juice, jalapeno and garlic.  Served with taco shells, soft tortillas, cheese, lettuce, refried beans, salsa, radishes, sour cream.
