Chipotle Steak Tacos

This is my favorite twist on tacos so far. While on vacation last summer, I had these amazing steak tacos, and I was determined to figure out a way to make a taco that was similar at home. You'll definitely want to make the Chipotle Cremoli (which is basically a word I made up, because it's like a cross between a Crema and an Aioli) sauce for on top of them. You can find that recipe here. Here's what you'll need:

Ingredients:
-1lb organic grass fed steak (your preference, I'm using sirloin)
-1 organic zucchini
-1 organic yellow squash
-1 organic yellow onion
-1 organic red pepper
-1 organic green pepper
-2 tablespoons organic olive oil
-organic seasonings (pink Himalayan salt, garlic, chili powder, chipotle powder)
-package of organic Mexican cheese
-taco shell of choice (it was served originally with soft corn taco shells (which add a nice, complementary, sweet flavor, but any will do. I like to use butter lettuce as my taco shells).

Directions:

1. Dice all vegetables into small cubes.
2. In a saute pan, combine olive oil, zucchini, squash, onion, and peppers. Lightly season them with 1 teaspoon of salt, garlic, and chili powder. Cook on medium heat until veggies are slightly tender, but still retain their shape.
3. Season steak with 3/4 teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt, 2 tsp of chili powder, and 1/4 teaspoon chipotle powder. Tenderize steak, and then grill or pan sear (to your liking, we usually cook ours to medium). Once done, cut into small cubes or strips.
4. Load your taco shells up with meat, veggies, cheese, and Chipotle Cremoli. Enjoy!

Serves 4

Tips:
-Season and tenderize your meat the night before for the best flavor.
-Veggies can be made ahead of time and reheated for a quick meal on another day.
-Play around with the spice ratios on the meat- everyone has slightly different tastes. (But I do suggest keeping the veggies seasoned mildly, or it can become way too overpowering, especially if you prepare the Chipotle Cremoli).
-Double the recipe for leftovers!
