Change up the protein for different tacos every time!
Taco Night
Taco night is always a family favorite! Everyone can top them how they like and they are pretty kid-friendly. I make tacos different every time. I switch up the protein by using different meats or no meat. Try different veggies, grilled, roasted or raw. Use different salsas or guacamole. Substitute different types of beans, mixed with corn or rice. Vary the carrier with hard shells, soft tortillas, flour or corn, taco salads, or sheet pan nachos. Our latest taco night was one of my favorites, grilled steak with peppers and onions. At our house, taco night is about once a week and nobody complains!
Instructions & Tips
Tacos are a great way to stretch your budget while having a steak night at home. One steak, an affordable cut like sirloin, is enough to feed 2 to 4 people when sliced with other toppings. You can cook it on an outdoor grill or in a cast iron skillet. With the grill going, I like to add peppers and onions and char soft tortillas, just wrap them in a clean kitchen towel when they are done to keep them soft. Grill steak about 4 to 5 minutes per side and let it rest 10 minutes before slicing thin. Add all your favorite taco toppings! Try cheese, cilantro, shredded lettuce or cabbage, my Easy 5 Minute Salsa, and Guacamole!
