Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

- #102329
1-2 hrs
ingredients
1 1/2 pound beef shoulder top blade steaks
12 flour tortillas (5-inch diameter)
1 package (8 ounce size) shredded Mexican cheese blend
MARINADE
0.33 cup olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup lime juice
1 tablespoon honey
1 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
SPICY PICO DE GALLO
1 1/2 cup chopped tomato
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon minced jalapeno pepper
1 teaspoon tabasco
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
directions
Cut the beef into 1/4-inch strips and set aside.
Combine the oil, vinegar, lime juice, honey, cumin, and chili powder in a zip-top plastic bag. Add the beef to the bag, seal, and turn the bag several times to coat the meat. Place in the refrigerator for one hour to marinate.
Meanwhile, combine the tomato, onion, cilantro, jalapeno, tabasco, and lime juice in a bowl. Stir well to combine. Cover and refrigerate while the beef is marinating.
When ready to cook, heat a large skillet over medium heat.
Remove the beef from the marinade (discard any remaining marinade).
Add the beef to the skillet and stir fry until the beef is browned (do not overcook, it should be medium rare).
Divide the beef between the tortillas. Top with some of the pico de gallo and shredded cheese. Fold up the tortillas and serve immediately.

Nutritional data has not been calculated yet.A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
