GRILLED SCALLOPS TACOS AND CABBAGE SLAW WITH SPICY AVOCADO SAUCE



Grilled Scallops Tacos and Cabbage Slaw With Spicy Avocado Sauce image

This is surprisingly fast to make and since scallops are sliced 1/2 to 1/3 horizontally (depending on size), they grill up very quickly on the pan. If scallops are large, then 1 taco equals 1 large scallop. But, if you are using medium or smaller scallops, you may need to use more scallops per taco. I love the creaminess of this avocado sauce which goes really well with other grilled fish or seafood items too.

1/2-1 large pickled jalapeno pepper, seeded (adjust heat to your liking)
1 tablespoon fresh limes or 1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 large garlic clove

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 limes, zest of or lemon
1 tablespoon limes or 1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 garlic clove, minced

Steps:

  • In a blender combine the sauce ingredients and process until smooth. Transfer to a small serving bowl.
  • In a bowl whisk the marinade ingredients. Slice each scallops into 1/2 or 1/3 depending on size horizontally. Add the scallops to the marinade and turn to coat evenly. Cover and marinate at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl combine the cabbage, onion, and cilantro.
  • Heat a nonstick frying pan and lightly coat with olive oil. Place the scallops without crowding and quickly sear the scallops on high heat until lightly browned, about 30 seconds to a minute. Turn over and brown on second side for 30 seconds to a minute. Do not overcook or they will toughen. Remove from pan.
  • Wipe the same frying pan and heat the tortillas both sides until warm about 15 seconds each side. Remove and continue with all the tortillas.
  • Fill each tortilla with some of the cabbage mixture and scallops. Top with the sauce and eat!

GRILLED STEAK TACOS WITH AVOCADO CHIMICHURRI SAUCE



GRILLED STEAK TACOS WITH AVOCADO CHIMICHURRI SAUCE image

Categories     Pepper

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

1.75 lbs sirloin steak (2 good size steaks)
2 sweet onions, sliced thick to barbeque
2 different colored bell peppers, sliced 1/2 inch
Olive oil
Salt and Pepper
Marinade and base for Avocado Sauce
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 scallion, minced
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp Champagne vinegar (or white wine vinegar would do
1 ½ tsp cumin
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tsp salt
Finish the sauce with:
¼ cup chopped parsley
½ tsp minced jalapeno
2 avocados, diced close to serving time
1 tbsp lime juice
To make the tacos:
12 corn or flour tortillas
sour cream
lettuce or other salad greens
Chopped cilantro
refried beans

Steps:

  • 1. Combine the marinade ingredients in a bowl (the garlic through cumin and salt). Place the steaks in a large sealable plastic bag, then pour in 1/3 cup of the marinade mixture into the bag. 2. Set aside the rest of the marinade. Seal the bag, and gently toss the steak around with the marinade to get it well-coated. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. About 4 hours is optimal. 3. Finish the avocado sauce by taking the remaining marinade that you set aside, stir in the parsley, jalapeno, and lime juice into the reserved marinade. Salt and pepper.......do not forget this! 4. You can have all this ready to go well before your dinner, then stir in the diced avocados closer to serving time. 5. Grill the peppers and onions until nice and charred. This gives them a great smokey flavor. Set aside. This can be done 2 hours before you finish the meat. 6. Now, you've got the preliminaries taken care of, it's time to grill that steak! Take the steak out of the fridge 15 minutes before grilling time and pre-heat the grill to medium high. Shake the excess marinade off the steaks, then place them on the grill. For medium rare, which I recommend for this cut, grill 5 to 6 minutes on one side, then flip over to grill another 5 minutes on the other side. 7. Remove the the steak to a serving platter. Slice the steak thin after it has rested a few minutes, and have it ready to go on the taco bar. 8. You can set up the rest of the items on the taco bar as the steak grills. Line up the tortillas, steak, avocado sauce, onions/peppers, sour cream, lettuce and beans and let folks build their own tasty creations. I like to go through the line first and point out the items people can choose from so they don't miss anything. Enjoy your taco party!

Tips for Making the Best Grilled Avocado Tacos:

  • Choose ripe avocados: Look for avocados that are firm to the touch but yield to gentle pressure. Avoid avocados that are too hard or have blemishes.
  • Grill the avocados properly: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and cook the avocados for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are slightly charred and tender.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: Marinating the avocados in a mixture of olive oil, lime juice, cilantro, and spices will add extra flavor to the tacos.
  • Choose your favorite toppings: There are many different toppings that you can add to your tacos, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese. Get creative and experiment with different combinations.
  • Serve the tacos immediately: Grilled avocado tacos are best served fresh and hot. Enjoy them as soon as they are made.
