Quick note: the Corona in the picture is The Husband's, but I'm holding out hope that one day it will test at less than 20 ppm and I'll be able to drink it once again!
The weather on Sunday was beautiful and we decided we should take advantage of it and have dinner on the screened-in deck. The Boy is now old enough to sit in his own chair (outside, inside he still uses the high chair). So we all sat down to a lovely delicious dinner. There is something really relaxing and fun about eating outside.
The Husband grilled the steak while the kids and I hung out on the porch. I had a nice glass of Viognier (perfect summer wine!) and the kids had milk. Summer is on the way...

Grill the steak to preferred doneness. Warm corn tortillas in aluminum foil on the grill.
While the steak is grilling stir-fry the onion and pepper for 2-3 minutes. Add the cumin, chili powder and salt to taste. Add the tomatoes and stir-fry for 1 minute more.
Slice the steak and serve with veggies, corn tortillas and all your favorite toppings (sour cream, cheese, salsa, beans, etc).
