Last night I made such a good dinner that I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to make it once a week until I am sick of it.

Tacos de Carne Asada

I marinated a 2 pound sirloin roast over night in a mixture of:
Worcestershire
Tabasco brand Chipotle sauce
Juice of 1/2 fresh lime
2 Tbsp olive oil
salt & pepper

Then I made some pico de gallo before I started cooking the steak:
two small tomatoes, diced
1/2 a sweet onion, diced
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped
juice of 1/2 a lime
salt & pepper

I grilled the beef over medium heat about 5 minutes a side, turning twice---check for your desired level of doneness, my steak was very thick.  I brought the steak in and let it sit for a minute to seal the juices further, then I thinly sliced the beef against the grain and chopped the slices into half-inch pieces, TACO SIZED!     Then I tossed the beef with a little more worcestershire and chipotle  sauce.

Warm CORN tortillas. (Flour tortillas are for gringos.) Heat a cast iron skillet and heat corn tortillas on both sides for 10 seconds each side. 

Spoon the carne asada into two corn tortillas (one is too tender and will tend to rip)
Liberally top with pico de gallo.
Lose your mind at how delicious it is.
I ate three, which was one too many, but I wanted to eat six more and explode with deliciousness.
