iN WINE: Make these delicious steak tacos this weekend
Steak Tacos with Peach Salsa & Spicy Slaw
Tacos of every kind have been on the culinary hot list for a while now. Fish tacos, pulled pork tacos, shrimp tacos, you name it, you can make it into a taco.
Steak Tacos are one of my favourites and one that is a wonderful choice to serve at a dinner party. Easy to make, these are loaded with the flavours of summertime.
Shopping tips: My go-to tortillas are the white corn and wheat, small tortillas made by La Tortilla Factory.
Hank's Grass Fed Beef is from the lower mainland and it is delicious.
Ask your local butcher if they can bring it in for you if they don't already carry it.
