SUMMERTIME STEAK TACOS
Steps:
- 1. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine Farmer's Pick 100% Juice Blackberry, lime juice, olive oil, onion, jalapeno, and cilantro. Add the steak, seal the bag, and turn to coat well. Refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours. 2. When ready to serve, heat an outdoor grill or stovetop grill pan to medium heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and pour the marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and boil until the liquid has evaporated and the onions are tender, about 12 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 3. Meanwhile, pat the steak dry and very generously season with salt and pepper. Grill, turning once, until grill marks appear, 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. 4. Cut the steak across the grain into thin slices; cut the slices the same length as the tortillas. Divide among the tortillas and top with the onion mixture. If desired, scatter tomatoes and cilantro on top.
ALMOST-FAMOUS STEAK TACO SALAD
It's easy to pretend you're being healthy when you order a taco salad, but those crispy edible bowls - the best part! - can make the meal a serious calorie bomb. At the popular chain Moe's, the taco bowl alone has 390 calories and 26 grams of fat. But if you're addicted to Moe's Close Talker salad, don't despair: Chefs in Food Network Kitchens created this copycat with a slimmed-down shell that's baked instead of fried.

Steps:
- Make the tortilla bowls: Position a rack in the lower third of the oven; preheat to 450 degrees F. Put 4 empty cans (labels removed) or small ovenproof bowls upside down on a baking sheet. Drape a square of foil over each can and coat with cooking spray.
- Fill a shallow bowl with 1/2 inch warm water; whisk in the olive oil. Soak each tortilla in the water until soft, about 5 seconds, then drape over the prepared cans, pleating as needed. Bake until golden, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and invert the tortilla bowls onto the baking sheet; remove the cans and foil. Spray the inside of the tortilla bowls with cooking spray, season with salt and continue baking until crisp, 4 to 5 more minutes; let cool.
- Meanwhile, make the steak: Whisk the dried garlic, onion and oregano, the cumin, chile powder, scallions, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a bowl. Put the steak in a shallow dish and rub with 2 tablespoons of the spice mixture (reserve the rest for the dressing). Add the bell pepper and sliced onion and toss. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add the steak and scatter the bell pepper and onion around it. Sear the steak about 5 minutes per side, then transfer to a cutting board. Continue cooking the pepper and onion until just tender, about 3 more minutes. Thinly slice the steak against the grain, then cut into 1-inch pieces.
- Assemble the salad: Whisk the mayonnaise, buttermilk and the reserved spice mixture in a large bowl until smooth. Add the cucumber, lettuce, beans and olives and toss. Divide the salad among the tortilla bowls. Top with the steak, bell pepper, onion, cheese and salsa.

Steps:
- Sprinkle steak with chili powder and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large, heavy skillet (such as cast iron) over high until just smoking, 1 to 2 minutes. Working in batches, add steak and cook, flipping once, until well browned and just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes a side. Transfer to a plate; tent with foil.
- Combine tomato and cilantro; season with salt and pepper. Blister tortillas over an open flame and wrap in a clean towel to keep warm. Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium and swirl in remaining 1 tablespoon oil.
- Add eggs to skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring often, until just set, about 2 minutes; remove from heat. Slice meat against the grain, then chop into bite-size pieces. Serve in tortillas with eggs, tomato mixture, queso fresco, and more chili powder, with lime wedges alongside.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your tacos will taste. Look for fresh, flavorful steak, eggs, and vegetables.
- Cook the steak properly: The steak should be cooked to your desired doneness. If you like your steak rare, cook it for 2-3 minutes per side. For medium-rare, cook it for 4-5 minutes per side. For medium, cook it for 6-7 minutes per side.
- Scramble the eggs until they are fluffy: Don't overcook the eggs, or they will become tough. Cook them until they are just set.
- Use a variety of toppings: The possibilities are endless when it comes to toppings for steak and eggs tacos. Some popular options include cheese, salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and pico de gallo.
- Serve the tacos immediately: Steak and eggs tacos are best served hot off the grill. Enjoy them with your favorite sides, such as chips and salsa, or a side salad.

Steak and eggs tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion.
