Steak Tacos of Yumminess

We have a grill ya’ll.  A bonafide gas grill with three burners.   One of the many priveledges of being a homeowner!  So far we have made hamburgers and steak tacos.  I foresee much more steak in our future now that we have a fabulous way to cook it!  Tyler picked this recipe out and made it himself.  Delicious!  We did not actually make the salsa, I chose to make guacamole instead since I had the ingredients on hand and love guac!
