STEAK TACO'S

What you need..
1/2 cup cola

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Juice of 2 limes, plus lime wedges for serving

2 teaspoons chili powder

Salt

1 pound skirt steak, cut into 4 portions

2 tomatoes, finely chopped (I substituted with 2 cans of rotel, drained)

1 small onion, chopped

1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro

2 jalapeño chiles, finely chopped

8 crisp taco shells (I used a mix of soft corn and flour tortillas, it's what we had on hand.)

2 cups shredded slaw mix (from a 1-pound bag)

1 avocado, cut into 8 lengthwise slices

What you will do...
In a resealable plastic bag, combine the cola, olive oil, 2 tablespoons lime juice, the chili powder and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Add the steak and let marinate at room temperature for about 30 minutes.In a large bowl, toss together the tomatoes, onion, cilantro, jalapeños and remaining lime juice; season with salt.Preheat a grill or grill pan to high. Grill the steak, turning once, about 15 minutes for medium-rare; let rest for 5 minutes. Thinly slice the steak against the grain and toss with the tomato salsa. Fill each taco shell with some slaw mix, an avocado slice and steak with salsa. Serve with the lime wedges.

Hi, Monica here. I've been asked by Allie (co-author of Girls Grill) to share a grilling experience.

My new favorite easy grill side item is sweet corn on the cob. It's so cheap and easy and it goes with almost anything.

The first thing to do is shuck the corn. Once you get the husk and strings off, you need to soak the cobs in water for about 15 minutes. Next, you just wrap each cob in foil and place them on the grill. Grill for about 10 minutes and then roll to the other side for another 10 minutes. Open the foil and add butter, salt and pepper to taste. So simple. So tasty
I hope you will try this simple side dish. I don't cook and if I can do it, you can do it! Thank you for giving me the spotlight as an honorary classy girl griller. Monica H.
