Cooking Tips:
- Ensure the vegetables receive a good sear in the skillet for enhanced flavors and texture.
- Slice the steak thinly for quicker cooking and perfectly browned outer layers.
- Let the meat rest at room temperature first for improved seasoning penetration before cooking.
- Employ a non-stick skillet to avoid sticking, and make it easier to move the vegetables around during cooking.
- Avoid overcrowding the skillet, as this can negatively impact the even cooking of your food.
- Warm the taco shells in the oven at 350°F/175°C for roughly 5 minutes to make them pliable and simple to fold.
