Citrus-Marinated Steak and Chicken Tacos
Citrus-Marinated Steak and Chicken Tacos are a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for any occasion. This dish is a combination of juicy steak and tender chicken that has been marinated in a tangy citrus sauce, which gives it a refreshing and zesty flavor.
To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients per serving:
- 1/2 pound of flank steak
- 1/2 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1/4 cup of freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1/4 cup of freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon of chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4-6 corn tortillas
- Optional toppings: diced avocado, chopped cilantro, crumbled queso fresco, and sliced jalapenos
To start, combine the orange juice, lime juice, honey, olive oil, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add the steak and chicken to the bowl and toss to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
When you're ready to cook, preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove the steak and chicken from the marinade and discard the remaining marinade. Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through.
Once the meat is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips. Warm the tortillas on the grill for a few seconds on each side. To assemble the tacos, place a few strips of steak and chicken on each tortilla and top with your desired toppings.
These Citrus-Marinated Steak and Chicken Tacos are a perfect combination of sweet and savory flavors. The tangy citrus marinade gives the meat a bright and refreshing taste, while the toppings add a creamy and spicy kick. This dish is perfect for a summer barbecue or a quick and easy weeknight dinner.
