The sauce is by far the best part of the recipe! So delicious!
I felt like I should have liked this, but we ended up dumping the steak out of the tortilla and eating it without. I think it maybe needed to be cut smaller in the taco?
Very good! I added cubed avocado to the taco and made a sriacha mayo for my husband as a sauce since he hates cilantro. Great that way too!
Basically I'm rating the sauce. I used this sauce (so good) on salmon and chicken. We grilled it then served in warm tortillas with the extra sauce. A small shake of hot sauce really gave it a nice extra kick.
One of my favorite meals!! I would suggest adding sesame seeds to the salad.
Chimichurri is epic, but steak wasn't my favorite flavor for flank/skirt steak. We didn't have tortillas so we made more cauliflower rice and finished off all of our sauce.
