Chipotle Steak Tacos with Pineapple Salsa and Peach Cobbler

Ah, another Friday! I find more reasons to look forward to the weekends now!


This week I was emailed a recipe for Chipotle Steak Tacos with a Pineapple Salsa and thought, 'hmm, this might be interesting'... Oh, it was VERY interesting and delicious!


Ingredients:
-12 Soft Corn Tortillas
-1 Tsp Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
-1 Tsp Chipotle Chili Powder
-1 Tsp Kosher Salt
-1 Lb Flank Steak beef
-1 Pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2 inch rings
-1 Red bell pepper, finely diced
-1/2 cup Red Onion
-1/4 Cup Chopped Fresh Cilantro


Preheat a grill to medium heat. Combine oil, Chipotle powder and 1/2 tsp salt in a small dish. Rub the mixture on both sides of the steak.


Grill the steak 4-6 mins per side or until desired doneness. Grill pineapple rings until moderately charred, 1-2 mins per side (I did just until they were light brown). Remove grill and pineapple from grill and let steak cool for 5 mins before slicing into thin strips.


Dice the pineapple and transfer to a medium bowl. Add bell pepper, onion, cilantro and a pinch of chipotle powder and the remaining 1/2 tsp salt. Toss to combine.
Serve the sliced steak in warm tortillas with the pineapple salsa.
And of course, everyone's FAVORITE time of day, DESSERT!!


This week I wanted to make the EASIEST dessert I know of. When you read this blog you might think it's too good to be true, but I promise you, it is not and I love the dessert.


Ingredients:
-2 (16 oz) cans of sliced peaches with juice
-1 Dry Yellow Cake Mix
-1 Stick of butter


Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lay peaches in the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Top with the cake mix and melt the butter then drizzle it on the cake mix. (I know the picture doesn't depict that but now I know for next time!)
Place in oven and cook for 45 mins or until golden brown. That's all, enjoy! Told you it was the easiest thing huh?


*Note: Not all of the cake mix will be moist or baked, but it will still be delicious!*

Until Next week, ENJOY!
