Cinco de mayo taco Tuesday

[smokngun]

I've been saving this 2 1/4 lbs flank steak for today.

Marinated with a carne asada rub.

And added lime juice and off to the fridge for several hours.

Fired up a chimney of B&B mesquite lump for the Weber kettle.

Grilled about 2 1/2 mins and turned 90deg then another 2 1/2 and flipped.

Same on the other side. Brought it in to rest about 10 min and sliced for street tacos.

My wife's plate

And mine

Thanks for looking.

Oh man isn't Flank Steak just amazing in flavor! That meat looks fantastic!
I'm glad you got to enjoy some good fajita tacos today.

I forgot all about it being the day of Mexican independence from the French so the Americans can drink and eat like kings hahaha. I'm kind of embarrassed I didn't make anything to fit the occassion... but living in Texas I can easily make up for it tomorrow. I see boneless skinless chicken breast for $1.49 starting tomorrow. I'll marinate some and do chicken fajitas tomorrow and some quesadillas afterwards. Just gotta make up some tortillas and I'm golden.

I promise I'll make up for it :D

Outstanding!
Wish I can get flank and skirt cuts around here for a reasonable price.

Didn't give a second thought to the date, but our appetites must be tuned in to the calendar?
Wife wanted Mexican (fast food) for lunch. Told her I had planned my taco meat for supper.
She waited for supper.

Nice job on the steak. Flank is on of my favorite cuts for tacos especially with the chilli lime flavors.
