The Perfect Summer Taco Salad




I'm aware that the word perfect seems a little extreme, but if the shoe fits... Seriously though, I literally had 10 minutes to throw together a marinade between our jam packed Tuesday morning and this was so easy I knew it would work well. I used some grass fed flank steak from the unnamed whole paycheck store only because we were so short on time I didn't have time to stop at multiple places (that's really an excuse, I love the meat counter at previously mentioned unnmaged store). I also knew I didn't have a long marinade time so wanted something that would tenderize fast.

Since we're doing whole30 currently I omitted the honey and didn't miss it at all. To serve it I chopped some romaine, topped it with the meat that I grilled (and then diced because I like bite sized pieces), sliced peppers that I had sautéed in coconut oil and then threw under the broiler to blacken a bit, premade guac and pico from TJ and chopped cilantro. We added a squeeze of lime at the end and it was amazing. I was worried about the meat being too spicy for the kids, but it was perfect. They ate a ton!!

While the website isn't "Paleo" there are several great recipes that can me modified to fit into the "Paleo" template. Here's the link for her Carne Asada
