Ingredients
Scale
Cilantro Lime Cream
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup greek yogurt
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 garlic clove, pressed through a garlic press
- 3 tablespoons cilantro, roughly chopped
- Juice of a lime
Tacos
- 8 white corn tortillas
- 2-3 tablespoons canola oil
- Grilled steak, sliced thinly (I used a little over one pound of tri-tip)
- 1/2 cup red onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup queso fresco, crumbled
- cilantro for garnish
Instructions
Cilantro Lime Cream
- In a small food processor or blender, pulse together the sour cream, greek yogurt, cumin, cayenne pepper, garlic, cilantro and lime juice until smooth.
Tacos
- Start by heating a teaspoon of oil in a small pan over medium heat. When the oil is hot, place one tortilla in the pan, and lightly fry until the tortilla puffs up a bit. This should take about 30 seconds per side. Place the fried tortilla on a paper towel, and repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- Layer grilled steak, red onion, queso fresco, and cilantro on each tortilla.
- Drizzle with cilantro lime cream.
- *** If you want to make these over-the-top amazing, try frying two tortillas with 1 tablespoon of queso fresco in between them to use as your taco shell!
