Philly Cheesesteak Tacos!

“Taco flavored kisses!  Taco taco taco…”

 

Since I live in the city of brotherly heart attacks, I figured I would make a glutarded version of the Philly Cheesesteak.  This sandwich is such an iconic Philly Phavorite.  I originally set out to buy some gluten free rolls/baguette somewhere and make this sandwich style.  Sadly, none of my local markets had suitable options so I decided to take this creation south of the border.

To make this, you will need:

Steak (cut of your choice, but don’t go too cheap on us, ok?)
1/2 White onion
Gluten free corn tortillas
1 Cup of sharp cheddar, shredded
1 Cup of mild cheddar, shredded
1 Cup half and half
1 TSP  Sriracha (or hot sauce of your choice)
Pinch of garlic
Salt & Pepper to taste

In a small sauce pan, heat your half & half on a medium heat.  Add in your shredded cheeses and continuously stir until the cheese melt and turns into something that resembles Cheese Wiz.  Add the pinch of garlic, 1 TSP of hot sauce, and salt and pepper to taste.  BAM! You have cheese sauce!


Slice your steak into thin strips.  Dice or slice your onion as well.  Put both the onion and steak into a non-stick fry pan and sauté them till the onions are caramelized and the meat is cooked to your desired temperature.  I did mine about medium/medium well.  Turn down the heat and keep your steak and onions warm.


If you would like, take your corn tortillas and grill them lightly on each side in a lightly oiled small fry pan.  I would recommend this, since it gives the tortillas more flavor and makes them look great too.  Place your tortillas onto your favorite dollar store platter and top each with your steak and onions.  Next, drizzle your house made ‘wiz’ on top of each taco.  For a finishing touch, you can do a zigzag of ketchup or your favorite hot sauce to give them that extra steak sandwich kick.


And that is it, my friends! Your finished product is a deliciously twisted Philly cheesesteak that could easily be found at Pat’s or Geno’s.  Well, if not there, maybe at a shady taqueria around the corner…

Let me know what you think!

Glutardedly Yours,
