I hope this Taco is to the taste of your palate, it takes me back to Mexico City when normally tacos are sold in different ways on the streets. I always ordered the steak alambres taco that had melted cheese on top and a good spicy sauce that is super delicious.

Finely chop the cilantro and yellow onion. Dice the tomatillo, habanero pepper, and peeled garlic. In a blender or food processor, combine cilantro, lemon juice, kosher salt, yellow onion, tomatillo, habanero pepper, and garlic. Blend until smooth.

3. For Beans

Finely chop the yellow onion and peeled garlic. Dice the jalapeno pepper and plum tomato. In a small pot, heat the canola/olive oil blend over medium heat. Add the yellow onion, garlic, jalapeno pepper, and tomato. Sauté until fragrant. Add the canned pinto beans and cook until heated through.

4. Steak

Season the flank steak with kosher salt. Heat the canola/olive oil blend in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the flank steak to desired doneness, then slice into strips.

5. Assemble the Tacos

Crispy Salmon Tacos

Take your Taco Tuesday up a serious notch with this delicious dish. Crispy panko-crusted salmon fillets are crunchy on the outside, yet soft and juicy on the inside and full of flavor in every bite. The salmon is tucked into flour tortillas and topped with pico de gallo and Chef Ruben's signature habanero-passionfruit sauce for a fruit kick of heat. Paired with a light coleslaw, these fish tacos will transport you to a beach, so matter where you enjoy them.
