    I made this with some changes. I seasoned the meat with a new orleans style spicy rub, and put lime juice on before cooking. I also combined the onions, tomato, and cilantro, salt, pepper, and lime juice and made a pico de gallo to go on the tacos. What a difference. I also used flour tortillas for me and corn for my husband, as I like the flour better. Served with a brown spanish rice.

    Don't expect these to taste like normal tacos - they taste like steak. I'm going to up the spices a little bit next time.

    I didn't know they actually had a name! There is one of those mexican taco stand trucks in town and I had one of these there. It was just the corn tortilla (which I've never liked until I had one of these) the steak meat, onion, cilantro and a wedge of lime. I'd never had anything like it. It's been a favorite of mine ever since! The simplicity of it with such great flavors was wonderful! These are just SO good!!

    How do we "rate" these, in other words how do we choose the amount of stars we give it?

    Great recipe. I took a packet of Taco Seasoning and made like a marinade with it. Coated the steak with the marinade and then grilled. Fantastic.

    Wearing women's clothing while eating these makes me feel sassy.

    Kathy, when you go to you your next meal plan, you should be asked to rate the meals from your previous one. Hope that helps!

    @Anonymous- Corn tortillas, as called for in this recipe should be gluten free. But you will need to check the label to make sure it is 100% gluten free and is not made in a factory that also makes flour tortillas. If you wanted more of a flour tortilla or wrap, there are several brands that make gluten free versions. La Tortilla Factory, Food for Life, and Rudi’s are all brands that I am aware of that make gluten free wraps/tortillas.

    A pinch of ground cumin in the taco meat goes a long way

    I made this using tenderized round venison and following some of Lara's recommendations. I let the meat, lime juice and cajun seasonings marinate in the fridge most of the day and it turned out fantastic! I'll be making this again.

    salad

    "salad" is perhaps the most useless comment I've encountered on these boards. An example of a useful comment: "I went with clarified butter instead of vegetable oil, which gave a little more character to the steak strips, and lightly froze the meat in the freezer for 30 minutes to make it easier to slice".

    ended up adding a lime based marinade to the meat about 30 mins before cooking it. we also added lettuce, cheese, and rice with a tiny bit of fajita mix in it to the burrito... and it was bomb
