Tacos de Almebre Inspiration
Inspired by a delicious meal at Epcot's World Showcase during a Disney trip a few summers ago, I created this Easy Tacos Alambre recipe. With just a hint of chili and lime, these tacos-made with pre-sliced shaved steak, smoky bacon, peppers, and melty cheese-make the perfect weeknight one-pan meal.
Truth be told, my family is a bunch of picky eaters, so where we dine out is usually predictable. Imagine the challenge when we go on vacation!
Before that Disney trip, I painstakingly researched restaurants and menus; it was an absolute necessity given my family's finicky tastes. La Hacienda San Angel in Epcot's Mexico came recommended, and when I checked out the menu, it seemed like they had something for everyone.
After a long summer day in Epcot, we finally arrived at the restaurant, which was directly across from the Aztec Pyramid. I am happy to report everyone was happy with my choice, but honestly, I think I was the happiest with my meal.
What do I need to make Tacos Alambre at home
Even though I'm not a Mexican food expert, I consider myself picky-ish, this dish was exceptional. I couldn't stop raving about it so I knew I had to recreate it when I got home.
After some research, I developed a quick and easy "Cheftini-style" weeknight version. The secret is the shaved steak hack, which saves so much prep time.
