Grilled Steak Poblano Pepper Tacos
Pleasantly spicy grilled skirt steak and poblano chile tacos are served with an easy avocado and radish salsa, perfect for Taco Tuesday or Cinco de Mayo if you don’t want to serve traditional Carne Asada or refreshing fish and avocado ceviche.
Yesterday might have been Taco Tuesday and Cinco de Mayo might be right around the corner, but these grilled skirt steak and poblano chile tacos are delicious any day of the week.
The past couple of weeks have been rough. Not even going to attempt to sugar coat it. Earlier this month, my father-in-law underwent deep brain stimulation to treat his Parkinson’s Disease… and let’s just say the recovery hasn’t gone totally as planned. Add the stress of his recovery and the last day at my (former!) job and you’ve got one stressful situation. On top of all of that, I am still not feeling 100% after my own procedure I underwent late last month, and it’s been a challenge to find what my body will tolerate as far as fuel.
While I’ve never been a huge meat eater, I grew up with a grandfather who raised cattle and believed beef (and other meat) needed to be on the dinner table five nights a week. While I never shared his extreme outlook, over the years I have enjoyed the occasional taste of red meat every once in a while. Since my procedure, my body has basically tolerated very little animal protein and I am feeling the effects on the daily. It wasn’t until very recently that I came to understand that for me, meat has always been my main source of iron and protein. I have been feeling so lethargic and just plain burned out that I basically forced myself to nosh on these grilled skirt steak and poblano tacos over Easter weekend. #worthit
Since spring has finally arrived, I gave my husband the task of grilling the skirt steak and poblanos on the Traeger. I don’t know why, but I’ve been really into using the Traeger Grill lately, I just love the flavors that thing puts out and these tacos are no exception. While my husband used hickory pellets, mesquite also makes for a pretty tasty flavor.
