Spicy Steak Tacos

My husband often travels for work and has been raving about one of the restaurants he frequents out of town serving great steak tacos. Of course I took this as a challenge to create my own version of a great easy gluten free steak taco. Not one to back down from a challenge I had many trials and errors making this recipe. I have a very competitive side. If you ask my Mom she would tell you that I believe I am always right. That's not true, for the record. Although 99.9% of the time I am right. Even when I know I’m wrong, I love to win an argument just for the fun of it.  This recipe was a challenge, I made for myself.  It is spicy taco with a smoky sweet flavor. My husband and I both love spicy food. These tacos are a twist on the typical taco because they are seasoned with chipotle .If you are not familiar with chipotle, the flavor is smoky with a slight spice. It gives food a really great flavor. Hope you enjoy!

Spicy Steak tacos

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp  rice wine vinegar

7 cloves garlic minced

1 tbsp dried oregano

1 tbsp honey

2 tsp Gluten free brown sugar

¼ tsp cayenne pepper powder (optional)

1 tbsp chipotle pepper powder

2 limes juiced

½ tsp salt

1 tsp onion powder

1 lb Steak cut into bit sized pieces

Add all ingredients together in a bowl, except for the steak. Mix thoroughly. Add steak pieces. Toss steak in marinade, making sure all pieces are coated. Marinade for 4 hours. Heat non stick skillet over medium heat. Cook steak until done.  Serve on gluten free corn tortillas with whatever toppings you desire.

Note: I use filet to make these tacos because I like how tender they turn out. If using a less expensive type of steak such as skirt steak make sure not to overcook because other types of steak may get tough if over cooked.
