Salsa Ranch Steak Tacos
What’s better than a taco? That’s easy: a steak taco. Switching up your normal protein with something like a tender flank steak or skirt steak is a fool-proof way to elevate a familiar go-to dish with just a little more oomph. Of course, it doesn’t hurt to add a few more ingredients to the zesty mix — especially when it involves the bold flavors of our Salsa Ranch Chopped Kit, featuring a blend of four cheeses, crunchy tortilla strips, and that creamy salsa ranch dressing.
Add in a quick and easy radish salsa bursting with the perfect amount of brightness to wake everything up, and you’ve got a meal that’s worthy of its own taco truck. And all it took you was what? 15-20 minutes? Yep, go ahead and put this recipe in your monthly rotation.

My Tacos are Lonely… What Else Can I Serve With Them?
Steak tacos are a crowd-pleaser on any table, but having the right sides will make your meal even more memorable. A simple pico de gallo made with diced tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime is always a must-have. For a hearty side, whip up a batch of Spanish-style rice or cilantro-lime rice to serve alongside the tacos; they’re even better next to some refried beans or black beans.
You could also try roasted or grilled peppers and onions for a smoky-sweet companion — simply drizzle them with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and cook until slightly charred. Oh, and don’t forget the chips and salsa while you’re waiting for your steak to cook!
