Tonight we made steak tacos with homemade avocado salsa. I've never made avocado salsa before, and my only other venture with salsa was a disaster that I solely blame on cilantro.
The salsa is avocado, red onion, tomatoes, garlic and a lot of lime. For the first time I did not "bash and chop" the garlic - I used a little grater to finely grate the garlic and I think that made a difference in the over all taste and texture. Finally, something Rachel Ray and I can agree on.
Also, I liked eating raw onion. Something is definitely wrong with me this year… the Melissa of old would not eat anything crunchy, let alone and onion and, gasp, green beans from a few nights before. This newness thing is affecting me in profound and psychologically deep ways.
I forgot to marinate the steak in lime and garlic, so I just squeezed some on top of it after is was cooked and resting. Just as good. The whole dinner smelled just like Mad Mex and there is nothing wrong with that.
I think the final calorie count was around 380. Overall, I would give it a 5/5. Troy was bummed because his avocado was hard, but I both like the taste and hard texture of it. Although I did swallow a whole piece of avocado and nearly freaked the hell out. Yummy none the less. Oh, and devastatingly beautiful.
