Steak Tacos Recipe (Double Fiesta Date Night with Crab Nachos)

  • Servings: 4

Fiesta Double Date Night, Crab Nachos and Steak Tacos!

This surf and turf menu takes less time to put together than getting a reservation at a restaurant. I’m using pulled king crab meat here, but you can use any kind you have available. For the tacos, I’m using flank steak, but feel free to use your favorite cut. Your house, your rules!
