Tacos at home are one of the most economical, quick, easy, and kid-friendly meals you can make. If you add rice and/or beans to the meat; not only can you stretch the dollar, but also increase the nutritional value. But that’s not what this recipe is about!

Those are poor man tacos (“not that there’s anything wrong with that”, as the crew on Seinfeld say). These are rich man tacos. Not only due to the cost of filet mignon, but also the avocado and bell pepper, if they happen to be out of season. Splurge and serve with a nice bottle of Cabernet and… paper napkins; things are bound to get messy. And that’s a good thing indeed!

On a side note: Marissa had a root canal yesterday morning. On the way home, we picked up yogurt, bananas, and cottage cheese. In the meantime, Connor requested steak for dinner. Perfect, I thought, she’ll have her smoothies and we’ll have steak. She rallied once she heard what we were having and enjoyed these fabulous tacos with us… although I did cut up the meat and peppers for her like I used to do when she was a toddler. Honestly, who wants to have “poor man” soft food when you can have “rich man” tacos!?!
