Steps:
- Preheat a grill for cooking over high heat.
- Liberally sprinkle the steaks on both sides with salt and pepper. Grill the steaks until just slightly less cooked than desired. Set in a foil pan, top each steak with 2 tablespoons sliced butter and cover with aluminum foil to rest about 20 minutes.
- Remove the steaks to a cutting board, reserving the juices in the pan. Chop the steaks into 1/2-inch cubes, then return them to the pan with the drippings, cover and refrigerate, at least 4 hours and up to 3 days.
- At game time: Preheat a grill for cooking at about 300 degrees F.
- Drizzle steak sauce over the steak to taste, then cover the pan again and place the entire pan on the grill to reheat, about 10 minutes. Stir the steak and continue to reheat until warmed through.
- Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk together with the milk. Place a nonstick pan on the grill and melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter in the pan. Add the eggs and cook, stirring frequently, until scrambled and cooked through. Meanwhile, wrap the tortillas in foil and warm them on the grill.
- Build the tacos and serve immediately, topping with hot sauce to taste.

Tips:
- Choose the right tortillas: Corn or flour tortillas can be used for tailgate tacos, but corn tortillas are more traditional and have a slightly smoky flavor.
- Keep the tortillas warm: Warm tortillas are more flexible and less likely to crack when you fold them.
- Use a variety of fillings: Classic taco fillings like ground beef, chicken, or pork are always popular, but you can also get creative with fillings like grilled vegetables, fish, or shrimp.
- Don't overload the tacos: Keep the tacos small and easy to eat so that your guests can enjoy a variety of flavors without getting too full.
- Provide plenty of toppings: Salsa, guacamole, sour cream, shredded cheese, and chopped cilantro are all popular taco toppings. Let your guests choose their own toppings to create their perfect taco.
- Make it a party: Tailgate tacos are a great way to feed a crowd. Set up a taco bar with all of the fillings and toppings and let your guests build their own tacos.
Conclusion:
Tailgate tacos are a delicious and easy way to feed a crowd. With a few simple ingredients and a little creativity, you can create a taco bar that will be a hit at your next tailgate party. So fire up the grill, grab some tortillas, and get ready to enjoy some delicious tacos!
