Steak and Egg Soft Shell Tacos
- 1 cup Green Mountain Gringo Medium or Mild Salsa
- 1 pound skirt steak
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced new potatoes, drained well
- 6 eggs, beaten
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 9 (6-inch) flour tortillas
Instructions
- Cook steak on grill or sauté pan. If using grill, heat grill to high. If using
sauté pan, heat pan to medium-high heat.
- Season steak with salt and pepper. When pan or grill is hot, begin cooking steak,
approximately 4-5 minutes on each side for medium temperature steak. When steak
is cooked to your liking, remove from heat and allow to rest 5 minutes before slicing.
- While steak is resting, place large sauté pan on high heat and add 2-4 tablespoons
olive oil followed by potatoes and pinch of salt and pepper. Begin frying until
golden brown and crispy, approximately 3-5 minutes. Once potatoes are cooked, add
beaten eggs and cook until scrambled. Turn off heat and add cheese.
- Slice steak thinly against grain of meat.
- Place flour tortillas in microwave 30 seconds or long enough to lightly warm
them.
- Portion egg and potato mixture evenly between flour tortillas followed by sliced
steak and approximately 1-2 tablespoons salsa and serve immediately.
