    Classic Mexican Steak Tacos (Gluten-Free)

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    Few foods bring me as much joy as a good taco. Simple, cheap, versatile and oh, so tasty, a good taco is one of the staples that can nurse me through a time-pressured lunch and keep a smile on my face all day long.

    The finished classic mexican steak tacos. Photo: CC--marzbarsTacos can be made with beef, chicken or pork. They can be made with tripe, tongue, neck, head meat, and even, yes, even with brains, for those with a streak of culinary bravado.

    This recipe will help you deliver delicious steak tacos that will put smiles on the faces of your family or guests.

    Ingredients:
    1 pound top sirloin steak, cut into thin strips
    10-12 corn tortillas - 6-inch
    1 small onion, diced
    4 fresh jalapeño peppers, seeded and chopped
    6 limes, cut into wedges
    2 cups fresh cilantro, chopped
    Favorite taco sauce
    Salt and pepper to taste

    Directions:
    If possible, grill the steak to medium rare, and slice it into thin strips. Squeeze juice from two limes onto meat and season with salt and pepper.

    If you can't grill the steak, then heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the steak strips, stirring constantly, until meat is brown on the outside and cooked medium rare, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. 

    Place tortillas on a plate, top with steak strips, squeeze a dash of lime, add onion, and cilantro. Top with your favorite taco sauce, wrap and eat.

    Makes 10-12 tacos.

    Before outdoor grilling becomes a casualty of summer's end, I thought I'd offer up one more great gluten-free grilling recipe, with two delicious sauces.
    Grilled fish is one of my favorite treats. I like to make it in the summer, as it's easy to prepare. For this recipe, I prefer swordfish, although halibut, cod, sea bass, trout,
    Mahi-mahi, red snapper, or any other favorite will do. Basically, this recipe will work with any white fish that will hold up to grilling.
    To make this recipe, first prepare the avocado salsa verde. Next, prepare the beurre blanc. Lastly, grill your favorite white fish. When fish is done, top sauce or salsa of choice, and serve with rice and your favorite steamed vegetables.
    Note: You may also pan fry, or even bake the fish as you like. Just make...
