    With just a few ingredients you can have these amazing Beef Tacos with Radish and Avocado Salsa!

    This recipe is a prime example that you don’t need to have a whole lot going on to have a wonderful recipe.  Just look at that taco.  It is so simple and yet so good.  If you have some gorgeous spring radishes coming up right now, look no further.  I found this recipe in Everyday Food: Great Food Fast , but you can also find it online, Beef Tacos with Radish and Avocado Salsa.

    You won't believe how flavorful these Beef Tacos with Radish and Avocado Salsa are!

    I only had enough steak for the tacos, so the next day I ate the rest of this salsa with some tortilla chips.  Awesome.  I love the crisp slightly hot bite of the radish paired with the cool creaminess of the avocado.  The lime juice adds freshness and the pickled jalapeno a bit of tartness and heat and the cilantro that familiar flavor that I love. This would be just as good over fish tacos or chicken tacos!

    Ingredients

    • 1 avocado halved, pitted, peeled, and cut into ¾-inch cubes
    • 6 radishes ends trimmed, halved, thinly sliced
    • ¼ cup cilantro chopped
    • 1 tablespoon pickled jalapeno peppers chopped
    • 2 teaspoons lime juice
    • 1 teaspoon olive oil
    • Coarse salt and ground pepper
    • 1 pound skirt steak cut crosswise into 3 pieces
    • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
    • 8 corn tortillas 6-inch
    • 1 lime cut into wedges for garnish

    Instructions

    • Heat a broiler with a rack about 4 inches from the heat and line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
    • Combine the avocado, radishes, cilantro, jalapeno pepper, lime juice and oil in a small bowl. Place plastic wrap touching the surface over it to prevent the avocado from browning.
    • Place steak on aluminum foil lined baking sheet. Rub both sides with ground cumin and salat and pepper. Broil about 3-4 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer to a cutting board, tent with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
    • While the steak is broiling, wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for about 1 to 2 minutes, or wrap in foil and warm in the lower third of the oven for about 5 minutes.
    • Cut steak crosswise into 2 inch-wide pieces, thinly sliced on the diagonal. Place steak on the tortillas and top with salsa. Serve with a lime wedge.
    • Serves 4

      I love any kind of tacos, but I haven’t tried a raddish salsa before. It sounds lovely and chunky.

      Radishes are something that I would recoil in horror at as a kid but now they are one of my favorite vegetables. I especially love them with tacos!

      Radishes in Mexican food is so traditional and I love seeing it in recipes. Someone.... (and I won't name names but it starts with an L and ends with a arry,) picked them out of my Posole when I served it. 🙂

      Pinning this one Pam. Looks wonderful.

      Sounds delicious... I love radishes --but haven't had any for awhile...

      Do you like beets??? I read that beets are good for us --and I never eat them... If you have any good recipes, let me know.

      Hugs,
      Betsy
