    Ingredients

    • 0.5 pound skirt steak

    • 4 large eggs

    • 8 small corn tortillas

    • 1 cup chopped cilantro

    • 1 cup diced tomatoes

    • 0.5 cup chopped onions

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil

    • 1 teaspoon salt

    • 1 teaspoon pepper

    • 0.5 teaspoon cumin

    Directions

    • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Season the skirt steak with salt, pepper, and cumin on both sides. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
    • Place the steak on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until it reaches desired doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
    • While the steak is resting, heat a pan over medium heat and add olive oil. Crack the eggs into the pan and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
    • Warm the tortillas on the grill or in a clean pan until they are soft and pliable, about 1 minute on each side.
    • Slice the steak into thin strips against the grain. Place a few strips of steak and a fried egg on each tortilla.
    • Top each taco with chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, and chopped onions. Add additional salt or pepper to taste.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

    Hawaiian Chicken Tacos with Pineapple Salsa

    Chicken breast is one of the leanest proteins available, high in B vitamins and selenium. Using honey instead of refined sugar in the marinade provides trace minerals and antioxidants alongside sweetness. Pineapple contains bromelain, a natural enzyme that supports digestion and has anti-inflammatory properties, making this tropical salsa as functional as it is delicious.

    Key West Grilled Chicken

    Lime juice in the marinade provides vitamin C and acts as a natural tenderizer through its citric acid content, producing a juicier, more tender finished chicken without any added fat. Honey is bold enough in flavor that a small amount delivers meaningful caramelization and sweetness on the grill, keeping the overall sugar content of the marinade moderate.

    The Cook’s Library: Books That Changed How We Think About Food

    Research on food literacy — the understanding of where food comes from, how it is produced, and what its nutritional and ecological implications are — consistently finds that higher food literacy is associated with better dietary quality, greater consumption of whole and minimally processed foods, and stronger motivation for sustainable food choices. Reading about food — not just recipe books but books about food culture, food systems, and food history — is one of the most effective ways to develop food literacy. The investment of time in the cook’s library produces measurable improvements in the quality of food choices that purely nutritional education does not achieve.
