  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3/4 cup water

Tools:

Heavy duty tin foil

Non-stick spray

2 medium bowls

Measuring spoons

Instructions:

  1. Get your fire going, you’ll need a grill overtop to set the packs on.
  2. Cut six 12 to18 inch strips of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Pray the foil (where you’ll put your ingredients) with non-stick spray
  3. In one of the bowls add the steak strips and season with 2 tbsp of taco seasoning and the juice of one lime. Mix until evenly coated. Divide the meat equally between your prepared foil strips. Place everything in the center.
  4. In the second bowl add the veggies and remaining seasoning with one tbsp of oil toss to coat and divide evenly between the foil with the steak.
  5. To fold up the packets, bring the long sides of the foil together over the beef and veggies. Fold the ends together at least twice to create a strong seal. Roll up the shorter ends of the foil tightly to create a sealed packet.
  6. Place the steak packets on the grill and cover if using a BBQ. Cool for 8-10 minutes or until the steak is cooked to your preferred doneness. Rotate the packets halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  7. Remove packets from the grill and serve with warm tortillas and preferred topping.
