What’s not to love about a recipe that mixes margaritas, GARLIC and steak? My friends, I cannot think of a thing.

So try this one the next time you’re feeling spicy!

From Loanne in Texas
Margaritas Chipotle Steak with Grilled Avocadoes
Enough for 2 lbs. Sirloin or London Broil Steak

Ingredients for Marinade:
¼ C. Soy Sauce
¼ C. Frozen Concentrated Margarita Mix, thawed
2 T. Tequila
1 T. Grated Garlic Cloves
1 tsp. Ground Chipotle Pepper

8 Dinner flour tortillas
4 Large Hass avocadoes

Mix all ingredients for marinade.  Marinate steaks in this mixture for 30 – 45 minutes. 

Grill steak just 5 – 7 minutes per side or to desired doneness. 

Let rest, then slice into thin slices, against the grain. 

Warm tortillas on periphery of grill. 

Cut avocadoes in half and remove pit, but don’t peel. 

Brush avocado with oil and place cut side down on grill until barbecue marks appear. 

Scoop out avocado flesh and divide over tortillas. 

Divide steak slices over tortillas and wrap with avocado into a cone. 

Eat warm.

Today’s recipe is another from a Kansas City Steak
Company customer.  This marinade would be good to use
with our boneless, skinless chicken breasts, as well as
our steaks.

If you’re grilling your steaks and want to use some of the
marinade to baste them with as they grill, reserve some in a
separate container, and refrigerate until time to use.
