quick and easy meals for 1 or 2

Aracara

Light up the grill. A frying pan big enough to handle the flank steak(s) will work if you don't have a grill.

1 large onion cut up juliene but kinda wide slices
1 large poblamo pepper cut up to the same size as the onion. They're dark green, longer and skinnier than regular old green bell peppers. Regular old green bell will work if you can't find poblamos.

Some tortillas

Med sized frying pan, med heat, couple of swirls of olive oil. Add the veggies with a little salt and pepper. I like to also put in a little basil and a large garlic clove finely chopped. Toss them often.

Start the meat cooking. Throw away the marinade and the plastic bag.

The meat and the veggies should be done about the same time. turn the heat down real low under the veggies and spread the tortillas out over the veggies to heat up a little. After the meat has set on the cutting board for a few minutes slice it up. Thin slices and across the grain.

SERVE IT UP!! with some salsa. Put a few slices of the meat and a spoon or two of the vegies in a tortilla and chow down. don't forget some corona beer or some tequila!!
