Cheese Steak Tacos with Buffalo Fries
Ingredients
8 taco shells (soft flour tortillas or hard shells)
1 pound steak, thinly sliced (flank, skirt, or sirloin)
1 medium onion, sliced
1 bell pepper, sliced
1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, provolone, or American)
1/4 cup buffalo sauce, plus more for drizzling
1 bag frozen fries or 3 medium potatoes, cut into fries
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
Directions
Cook the fries according to the package directions, or roast homemade fries at 425°F (220°C) for 25–30 minutes until golden and crisp. If you want extra flavor, toss them with a little buffalo sauce after cooking.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and bell pepper, then season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they’re softened and a little caramelized.
Turn the heat up to medium-high and add the remaining olive oil if the pan looks dry. Add the thinly sliced steak, season with a little more salt and pepper, and cook for 2–4 minutes until browned and cooked through. Don’t worry if it looks a little messy at first — it comes together fast.
Add the onions and peppers back into the skillet and toss everything together so the flavors mix well.
Warm the taco shells in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 3–5 minutes, just until they’re soft and ready to fill.
Fill each taco shell with the steak, onion, and pepper mixture, then top with cheese and a drizzle of buffalo sauce. If you like, you can add a little more cheese so it gets nice and melty.
Serve the tacos hot with the buffalo fries on the side.
