Daves Tacos Recipes

DAVE'S TACOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oil on medium-hi. (Choose the pan for frying the shells carefully. It should be just a little bigger than the taco shells in diameter, and have straight sides so the minimum amount of oil can be used. It's easier to handle the shells if the pan is fairly shallow - no more than 3 inches deep.).
• In a separate pan, brown onion with meat and drain grease. Add tomato paste and spices.
• Continue to simmer meat while frying shells. Fry each tortilla quickly, less than a minute each, folding in the middle while frying. Drain on paper towels. Add more oil if needed. Shells should still be fairly soft.
• Fill taco shells with meat and serve. Cheese, lettuce, tomato, sour cream and taco sauce should be served with the tacos so that everyone can fix their own.

NAPA DAVE'S SKIRT STEAK TACOS

Steps:

• Combine the onion, the garlic, lime juice, cumin & salt in a blender until pureed.
• Cut the skirt steak into approximately 3 inch sections. Place the skirt steak pieces into a medium sized glass baking dish. Pour this mixture over the skirt steak- turn the meat in the mix to be sure that it is coated well on both sides.
• Cover the meat and refrigerate for at least one hour.
• Heat the grill to medium high heat.
• Remove the steak from the marinade and using a clean kitchen towel, blot the excess onion mixture off the meat. Brush oil over both sides of the steak & then lay it over the hottest part of the grill.
• Grill until browned - about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side.
• Cut each piece of the steak into thin strips across the grain.
• Sprinkle the meat with lime juice.
• Serve with a plate of tortillas and let each diner fill as they choose!
