Mexican Flank Steak Tacos
"This is super easy to make and something I prefer over ground beef tacos! If I'm not making carnita tacos I'm making this one ;) Place in warm or fried corn tortillas and served with your favorite taco toppings. I like lettuce, onion, avocado and salsa myself ;)"

I don't know where I went wrong but I found this very bland. While it was resting I had to add much more garlic, pepper and salt. I also added Chili powder as another user suggested. It wasn't bad but I don't think I would make it again. -
Simple & delicious meat recipe. I put the sliced meat on a total roll with guacamole & enjoyed every bite. Tomorrow I plan to have it on a salad. Thanks for sharing! -
These were sooooo good, but I had to add some chili powder to the steaks because the lime was a little overpowering for me. They turned out great. -
I loved the simplicity of this!!! Used lemon and just as wonderful!!! -
These were soooo good. The flavor of the steak was awesome. My steak usually turns out too dry, but these were not at all. My husband loved them. We will be making them again for sure.

I don't think there's anything better than spending time with family and friends and enjoying delicious food together. I just love food. I love reading about food, writing about food, cooking food and.. not surprisingly, eating food. My latest passion is food-photography! I'm still learning a lot, but I'm trying to post photos with all my recipes and reviews. I read recipe books, magazines and food blogs like novels. I get such satisfaction when someone enjoys a meal or dessert that I have prepared. It is the biggest compliment to me when my family and friends rave about my cooking. There are so many terrific recipes on this site. If I'm looking for something, I'm sure to find it here. I do have stacks of my own favorite recipes which I am slowly but surely getting in my cookbooks here . I have had so many awesome reviews and fabulous photos taken of my recipes... I try to thank everyone personally .. I sincerely appreciate each and every review and or comment left. I know it takes time to photograph and upload photos - So I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for finding and trying my recipes and taking the extra effort...
