Leftover Roast Beef Street Tacos

Ingredients 

PICO DE GALLO

  • 5 Roma tomatoes, diced
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 2 jalapeños, seeded, deveined and finely diced
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice, or lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • pepper, to taste

TACOS

  • 16 corn tortillas, soft
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb roast beef, shredded
  • 3 Romaine lettuce, shredded
  • 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
  • 2 large avocados, cubed
  • 2 limes, cut into wedges

Instructions

  1. Toss diced tomatoes, onion, peppers, cilantro, olive oil, lemon or lime juice and salt and pepper in a medium-sized bowl then refrigerate while you make the tacos.
  2. Heat a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tiny bit of olive oil to the bottom of the pan. Place two or three tortillas to the skillet and allow them to brown slightly—approximately 2 minutes. Flip them over to brown on the other side. When browned, transfer to a plate, separating them with paper towels. Add a tiny bit more oil to the pan then repeat until all tortillas have been browned.
  3. Build your tacos, one at a time, layering the shredded beef, lettuce, cheese, avocado and pico de gallo to your liking. Spritz with lime juice, serve with your favorite accompaniments such as a corn and black bean salad, Spanish noodles or cilantro lime rice.
