This recipe reminds me of summer. It's something we love to have on a warm evening, out on the deck. The kids loved it as well! It's a delectable way to change up your Taco Tuesday and it's so easy!
Also...anything with "aioli" in the title, it just is a much better version! Aioli makes everything better.
Now onto the recipe!
Ingredients:
For the aioli
1 ripe Avocado
1/3 cup avocado mayo (or any mayo you want to use)
1 tablespoon chopped basil
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
8 oz sirloin steak
1 T minced garlic
2 T oil
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
8 corn tortillas
For the toppings:
1 head romaine lettuce
Small handful fresh cilantro leaves
1 lime, cut into wedges
1/2 white onion, chopped
1 cup grilled corn
DIRECTIONS
1 To make the aioli, add the avocado, avocado mayo, basil, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper to a food processor and process until smooth. About 1-2 minutes. 2 Set a grill pan over high heat. Drizzle a little bit of olive oil over both sides of the steak and season with salt and pepper. When the pan is smoking hot, add the steak. For a steak about 1" thick, fry for 2 minutes on each side for medium rare, or longer if you prefer your steak well done. 3 Remove the steak from the pan and allow to rest for 5 minutes; slice against the grain into thin strips or chop if you don't want them in strips. 4 For cooked onions: wipe the pan with paper towels, but be careful as it will still be hot. Add the onion to the pan and sauté for a few minutes over medium-high heat until softened; set aside.
You can keep them raw if you like the flavor and texture of raw onions (what I prefer).
5 Wipe the pan again, then heat the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side to warm through. 6 Place a couple of lettuce leaves on each tortilla and top with steak, onion, corn and cilantro leaves. Add dollops of the aioli and a squeeze of lime juice. For a quick piping bag, you can use a zip-loc bag and just cut a hole in the corner and put your aioli in for easy serving.
