Lets be honest, there are thousands of taco recipes out there, but this recipe ticks all the boxes for what I like in a taco. A beautiful combination of all the products that I love and a balance between sweet, sour, spicy and smokey. Not to mention that the beer marinated steak is as tender as it gets!
The other good news is that I have this recipe in Norwegian as well. Yes, I am finally making the attempt to make my Norwegian followers happy as well. My website is not set up for two languages but please feel free to PM me and I will forward the Norwegian recipe to you.
Bon Appetite!
