If summer entertaining seems like a daunting task, there’s no better way to take the stress off than a taco bar! With a good amount of mise-en-place and a handy 3-ingredient steak seasoning, serving a crowd has never been easier. A spread of seared skirt steak, store bought salsa and tons of fresh garnishes makes for a delectable spread for everyone to build their own taco!
Once you’ve knocked out your knife skills, let’s chat steak. If you’ve never worked with Tajin, it’s a chile-lime seasoning that you’ll be wanting to put on everything from mango to corn to margaritas. Throw in some garlic powder and cumin, and you’ve got an all-purpose seasoning that takes skirt steak to the next level. When you’re cooking it, you can take these steaks two routes: a ripping hot cast iron pan or a roaring grill. Either way, just make sure you let them rest for maximum flavor.
Let’s give your guests something to taco ‘bout this summer!
