#10DaysofTailgate - Not Ketchup Cherry Chipotle Steak Tacos




 


Welcome to the day before the finale of #10DaysofTailgate. I can't believe it's almost over! I hope you have been enjoying all of the delectable dishes the bloggers participating in this fun event have been bringing you!
This recipe was deliciously different from a "traditional" taco. I loved the flavor of the cherry chipotle sauce with the steak bites; and the caramelized onion worked beautifully with the flavors! This was missing some sautéed mushrooms though - I was wishing I had some in my refrigerator, but sadly I did not. If you have fresh mushrooms, give them a try with this dish!
I received a grilling skillet from Mr. Bar-B-Q and decided that would work perfectly for cooking up the steak bites. It was awesome. The handle comes off, so you can place your food on the grill, remove the handle, cook your food, open the grill, reattach the handle and voila! Nothing hot to burn yourself on, and makes moving the skillet incredibly easy!
This dish would be perfect for tailgating from home - or cook up the filling, put it in a foil container with lid to keep warm, bring some tortillas and toppings with you and voila - tacos to go.
It is probably no surprise by now that my family is thrilled with Not Ketchup's Cherry Chipotle sauce (see Not Chili Cheese Fries and Cherry Chipotle Sloppy Joes here), and this is just one more recipe this sauce works perfectly in. I love the fresh, slightly sweet, slightly tangy flavor the sauce lends to this dish and cannot wait to enjoy this one again, soon!

Not Ketchup Cherry Chipotle Steak Tacos

Ingredients
1 lb sirloin steak, diced small
1 medium onion, sliced into rings
1 - 2 TBS olive oil
1/2 14-oz bottle Cherry Chipotle Not Ketchup dipping sauce
4 - 6 tortillas
Toppings as desired: diced avocado, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, sautéed mushrooms, lettuce, etc.

Directions
  1. Preheat your grill to medium heat. Using a Mr. Bar-B-Q skillet, cook the steak bites for about 8 minutes (stirring once or twice), until cooked through to desired doneness.
  2. Meanwhile, heat 1 TBS olive oil over medium to medium-high heat in a non-stick skillet on the stove. Cook the onions, adding more oil if necessary, until tender and caramelized (about 10 - 15 minutes total).
  3. Place cooked steak bites into a bowl, and pour Not Ketchup Cherry Chipotle sauce over, stir to evenly coat.
  4. Place a tortilla on a plate, and layer on desired amount of saucy steak bites, caramelized onion, and additional toppings to taste.

  2. So smart to cook the steak already chopped up - gives you that grilling flavor crust on all sides. And I imagine it's the quickest grill job known to man.

  3. What a great idea to cook the meat on the grill using that basket instead of on the stove top.
