Grilled Steak and Poblano Tacos

Prep Time: 1 h

Total Time: 1h 15m

I love a good taco! This Grilled Steak and Poblano Tacos are filled with perfectly marinated steak and topped with roasted Poblanos.

Continuing on the path of my love affair of Central American Recipes, and no it’s not just because I LOVE Margarita’s, but because if you are using fresh ingredients, tacos can be loaded with good soluble fibers and healthy lean proteins that are satisfying and filling. Plus taco recipes can be a simple and quick weeknight dinner, that is easy to please a crowd because toppings are optional.

I did not add beans to this taco recipe, but black beans that are drained and rinsed could be easily included adding another healthy fiber and protein source.
