Hey there strong people!
Truth is “Taco Tuesday” can happen any day of the week. These steak tacos are my take of fancy “C Casa” tacos. If you live or have visited Napa, you know about C Casa tacos. They are delicious, scrumptious, and full of fun non-traditional toppings. You have the option to make them on Tortillas (I LOVE SIETE GLUTEN AND GRAIN FREE TORTILLAS) or on butter lettuce leaves. Give them a try! Here are the macros for both options:
1 Taco on a “Siete Cassava and Coconut Tortilla”: (2oz meat ALL toppings NO cheese.)
204 Cals
6.5g Fat/17g Carb/12g Protein (ESTIMATE)
1 Taco on a Butter Lettuce Leaf: (2oz meat ALL toppings NO cheese.)
139 Cals
5gF/5.5g C/12gP (Estimate)
“Steak Marinade”
1 lb. Flank Steak
Juice of 1 lime
6 minced garlic cloves
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp cumin
Sea salt and Pepper
REFRIGERATE FOR AT LEAST 2 HOURS
“Mango Salsa”
1 Large mango chopped into small pieces
1 Small tomato chopped
1 Small shallot chopped
1/3 Cup chopped cilantro
1/2-1 Jalapeno minced (depending on your spice meter)
Juice of 1 lime
Salt and pepper to taste
ENJOY!!!
