Fun Recipe Friday: Chipotle Lime Steak Tacos

Hi!  My name is Bridget. I'm a stay at home mom from the Chicago suburbs who has a passion for cooking. I love to experiment with new and old recipes. I also like the challenge of trying to make recipes more diet friendly.

I love Chipotle Peppers. I never get sick of them. I love the smoky spicy heat and they make great marinades. It was prefect for my skirt steak. I decided to use hard shell tacos instead of soft and served these tasty tacos along side some cilantro-lime rice. They were delicious!


Chipotle Lime Steak Tacos
Makes 8 Tacos
Cal 148, Fat 9g, Carbs 8, Fiber 1g, Protein 13g (Per Taco)

Ingredients
1 lb skirt steak, trimmed
1 tsp cumin
1 tbsp brown sugar
Juice of one lime
2 Chopped Chipotle Peppers in Adobo, plus 2 tsp sauce

In a small mixing bowl combine cumin, brown sugar, lime juice, and chipotle peppers. Combine well and pour over steak. Cover your steak and place in the fridge. Marinate for about 1-2 hours. Grill steak 4-5 minutes per side or until desired doneness (we like medium rare) Slice steak and assemble tacos. Enjoy!
