Bourbon Lime Carne Asada Tacos

This dish packs on so many layers of flavors: tangy, sweet and spicy. It has also been slimmed down to pack a lot of flavor without a lot of calories.

What you need:

Pineapple salsa

1 pineapple, skinned, cleaned and diced

2 jalapeño peppers, cleaned and diced

2 medium red onions, diced

1 orange bell pepper, diced

5 strawberries, diced

3 sprigs cilantro, chopped finely

Zest of 1 lime

Juice of 2 lines

1 teaspoon salt 

Bourbon- line marinated carne asada steak

1.5 pounds London broil

1/3 cup bourbon

Juice and zest of 1 lime

1/2 teaspoon salt

Corn tortillas (this recipe makes about 12 tacos.)

Honey lime cream

1.5 cups fat free Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons honey

2 sprigs of cilantro, finely chopped 

Zest and juice of 1 lime

Salt and pepper to taste

How to make it:

The steak

1- Marinate the steak with the lime zest, juice and bourbon.

2- Grill until cooked to your liking. To be cooked medium, a 1 inch steak will take 6 minutes on each side, a 2 inch thick steak will take about 10 minutes on each side.

The Pineapple Salsa

1- Place all the diced fruits and veggies into a large bowl

2- Pour in your lime juice, cilantro and lime zest and mix well. Taste and add sat to taste, I put in about 1/2 teaspoon.

Honey lime cream

1- In a food processor combine all ingredients until mixed well

2- Pour into a squeeze bottle for more controlled use.

Assemble into a corn tortilla and let the fun begin!
