How to Make Steak and Potato Tacos

Making steak and potato tacos is easier than you might think. First, you'll need to marinate the steak in a flavorful mixture of spices and herbs. While the steak is marinating, you can prepare the potatoes by sautéing them until they're crispy and golden brown. Once the steak is marinated, cook it to your desired level of doneness. Finally, assemble your tacos by filling warm tortillas with the steak, potatoes, and roasted poblano chilies. Top with your favorite taco toppings like salsa, guacamole, and sour cream, and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Steak and Potato Tacos

To ensure your steak and potato tacos turn out perfect every time, here are a few tips:

  • Choose a high-quality cut of steak, such as ribeye or sirloin, for the best flavor and tenderness.
  • Marinate your steak for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when sautéing the potatoes. This will ensure they get crispy and golden brown.
  • Roast the poblano chilies until the skin is charred, then place them in a sealed bag to steam. This will make peeling the skin off easier.
