Ingredients

  • For the Steak & Marinade:
  • 1-2 lbs Beef Tenderloin
  • 1 Cup Tequila
  • 1/2 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 Limes juice of 2 limes
  • 1 Tbs Ancho Chili Powder
  • 1 tsp each onion powder garlic powder, salt and pepper
  • For the Guacamole:
  • 5 Avocados
  • 2 garlic cloves crushed
  • 1 small tomato minced
  • 1 jalapeno minced
  • 1 lime juice of 1 lime
  • 1/4 red onion minced
  • 1-2 Tbs fresh cilantro minced
  • 1 tsp salt more to taste
  • For the Tacos
  • 10-15 Flour Tortillas
  • 4-5 oz Sartori Salsa Asiago Cheese Shredded

Instructions

  • For the Steak & Marinade: In a large bowl whisk together all the marinade ingredients, add the Beef Tenderloin, spoon the marinade over the meat, then cover with plastic wrap. Let marinade 1 hour or up to 8 in the refrigerator. After it is done marinating grill it until internal temperature reaches 130-135 on a meat thermometer (ours was medium rare in the middle and a little more done towards the outsides). Remove from grill and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing in very thin slices. Alternatively, if you do not have a grill, preheat oven to 450, and cook in oven for about 20-45 minutes (depending on the size of your tenderloin and how well done you like it) remove and let rest to keep the juices in, and then slice very thin.
  • For the Guacamole: Mince and chop up all the vegetables, put everything in a bowl and mash everything together until it gets to the desired consistency.
  • For the Tacos/assembly: Preheat oven to 350 and warm the taco shells for 3-5 minutes to get them warm. For the assembly serve taco shell, 2-3 slices of the beef tenderloin, 2-3 tbs of guacamole, and a sprinkling of the cheese. Watch them disappear!
