Instructions
Creating Paprika Steak Shells is easy when you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Steak: Trim any excess fat from the steak and slice it against the grain into thin strips.
2. Season the Steak: In a bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Rub this spice mix all over the steak strips.
3. Cook the Steak: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of oil, then add the seasoned steak. Cook for about 4-5 minutes or until the steak is browned and cooked to your liking.
4. Warm the Shells: While the steak cooks, warm the tortillas or taco shells in a separate skillet over low heat for about 1-2 minutes per side, until soft and pliable.
5. Assemble the Shells: Lay the warm shells on a serving platter. Evenly distribute the cooked steak strips among the shells.
6. Add Cheese and Peppers: Sprinkle shredded cheese and diced bell peppers over the steak in each shell.
7. Melt the Cheese: Place the assembled shells under the broiler for about 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Drizzle with sour cream and sprinkle with fresh cilantro if desired.
9. Enjoy: Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Paprika Steak Shells with family and friends!
