Really Great Dinner

We've been eating this for dinner about once a week for the last month or so. Every time we make them Rob can't stop raving about how good they are. And they really are very good. So I thought it was high time I shared the love.

Grilled Soft Tacos with Avocado-Lime Salsa
From Cooking Light

Meat:
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons grated lime peel
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon chipotle chili power (I don't have this so used a bit extra chili powder)
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 pound of meat (The recipe calls for flank steak. We use chicken breasts)
Salsa:
1 cup diced avocado
3/4 cup chopped tomato
1/3 cup finely chopped sweet onion
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1/2 teaspoon grated lime peel
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
Remaining Ingredients:
corn tortillas
2 cups very thinly sliced green cabbage

Combine first 5 ingredients in a small bowl. Rub chili powder mixture evenly over meat. Cover and chill 1 hour
Grill meat till done- let stand 10 minutes. Cut diagonally across the grain into thin slices
Prepare salsa- combine avocado and next 7 ingredients in bowl
Warm tortillas (we put ours on the grill after the meat is done)
Put slices of meat in a tortilla, top with salsa and cabbage. Fold over and dig in.
And prepare to swoon over the yumminess.

It's so fun to be in touch with you! I've been wondering how things were going for you guys. How are you liking Spokane? We'll have to give you a ring the next time we head up there.

And this recipe looks delicious. I've been looking for something new to add to our menu repetoire and this will be perfect--especially for summer.
