Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 3/4 to 1 cup warm water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 teaspoon active dry yeast ((or 1 pkg, 2 1/4 tsp in a package))
  • 1 1/2 pounds flank steak
  • 1/2 cup taco sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 cups Mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cups lettuce
  • tomatoes
  • green onions
  • cilantro
  • 1 cup vegetable oil (for frying bread)

Instruction

  • To make the steak mix all the spices together, excluding the taco sauce, and rub over the flank steak on both sides. Grill the steak to your preference, I grilled mine to medium rare. After it's grilled, cover it with aluminum foil and let it rest for about 10 minutes, during which time you can make the dough.
  • Pour the yeast over the warm water in a small bowl.
  • In the bowl of your mixer, add the flour and salt and mix. Add the olive oil and using the dough hook, mix for about a min.
  • Add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture and mix until well incorporated. You can probably get about 6 to 8 tacos out of this dough, so if you're not going to fry all of them, you can freeze half. Cut the dough into about 6 or 8 equal pieces, depending on how big you want each taco and roll each piece with a rolling pin so that it's about 1/4 of an inch in thickness.
  • In a large frying pan heat enough vegetable oil so that it's 1/2 inch deep. Fry 1 or 2 of the rolled out dough pieces, depending on how big your frying pan is. Fry until golden on both sides. When done place over paper towels.
  • While the dough is frying, cut the steak into thin slices. Place steak into a bowl and pour taco sauce over and toss so that each piece is fully coated. If you need more sauce, feel free to add more.
  • To serve, top each piece of fried bread with steak, freshly shredded mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, green onions and cilantro.
