In an effort to find something to do with leftover pot roast these yummy pot roast tacos were born. In about 10 minutes, and the help of some fresh lime juice, onion, chili powder and cumin, Sunday’s pot roast was transformed into a spicy and fresh ‘steak’ taco creation.
Here’s what you will need:
Leftover pot roast, chopped
one onion, chopped
juice and zest of one lime
1/2 TSP of cumin
1/2 TSP chili powder
pinch of saltFor serving:
Soft taco shells
chopped lettuce
chopped tomato or pico de gallo
shredded cheddar cheese
sour cream
chopped cilantro (optional)
How to make Leftover pot roast tacos
Start by heating a pan coated in olive oil. When the pan is hot, add in your chopped steak and sprinkle with salt, cumin, and chili powder.
Get a nice crisp on the meat and then add in your onion
Next, zest and squeeze your lime juice into the pan
Give everything a good stir, making sure to scrape any bits of flavor from the pan.
turn off the heat. Chop your lettuce, tomatoes, and cilantro (if using)
place taco shells onto a plate, layer with cheese, then meat
finish tacos with lettuce, tomato, and sour cream
Finally, fold up that goodness and take a big ol’ bite…Yum! (sorry about the blur, this was one of my very first blog posts in 2012 LOL! the nex time i make these I’ll update these pics.
