Adding thin slices of steak to a taco makes a tasty and quick homecooked weeknight meal.

You can serve these tacos flat, and each person can make and fold their own. Or, if you like, you can serve them in a taco holder. If you don’t have one, bend aluminum foil into a taco holder shape and use that instead.

Adding avocado cubes gives the tacos a fresh and creamy texture.

• You can use any type of salsa.

• You can use flour tortillas instead of corn tortillas.

• You can use garlic cloves instead of bought minced garlic. Shopping list: To buy: 1/2 pound skirt steak, 1 can olive oil spray, 1 jar minced garlic, 1 bottle chili powder, 1 jar ground cumin, 1 jar tomato salsa, 1 package 6-inch corn tortillas, 1 avocado, 1 bunch cilantro, 1 carton reduced-fat sour cream.

Staples: onion, salt and black peppercorns.
