So we have our menu figured out but have a question.
We are going to marinade about 6#'s of Flank steak in some EVOO, garlic, fresh orange & lime juice, cumin and some S&P.
Going to give it a little smoke and then grill it on a gasser.
Topping it with cilantro, grilled pineapple, monterey jack, red onion and diced tomatos with a lime sour cream.
Here is the question.

How would you serve it, soft warm corn tortilla or tostado style?
Any other suggestions are appreciated as well.

Make a taco bar and have multiple types of tacos, tostados, etc. for people to have their choice

That is what my wife said, I was just kind of wanting to kind of keep it a tad simpler. Just might end up doing that though.

I like the tortilla idea, although I am probably more fond of flour than corn for flank steak.

Corn tortillas tend to fall apart if they sit around a little bit as well. Flour hold up better if it's something that would be sitting for awhile.

Well that settles that, flour it will be.
I will snap a few photos of the food.

What will the final size of the beef be?

Marinated and grilled as it stands, then I am thinking to cut each one 3x
, so each piece about 1 1/2” ish.

So this is going to be a pretty good size piece, not like chopped.  Kind of like a traditional cut piece of beef for Stroganoff?

Correct.

I love Tostadas, so I would always be up for that.  Refried's would hold the meat in place nicely.  But I am not sure the vast majority of America embraces the tostada like I do!  It will be great in a Burrito, would work well in a small flour tortilla as a soft taco too.  So it sounds like you have a very sound plan!

[Bar-B-Lew]

Yeah, looking forward to final pics of the serving choice.

We.....well Gwennie has added shrimp to the menu for the “non beefers”. Marinated the same etc. Kinda getting excited for the final food. I will post pics.

Love a good shrimp taco, and that marinade sounds like it would be perfect for it.

Marinated beef, shrimp, flour tortillas and the fixens, I am loving this thread.  Looking forward to hearing (and hopefully seeing) how it all pans out.  Thanks for bringing us along on your ride yd.

Yes.  This is a great idea.  The more photographs and recipes the better.
