Black and Brew Street Tacos
By: Sandra - Camillus, NY - Recipe Contest 2015
"If you’ve ever ordered authentic street tacos in a Mexican restaurant, it’s a delicious flavor you won’t soon forget! Black and Brew Street Tacos are inspired by Mexican street tacos. The magic in these tacos is the Door County Ground Colombian Coffee that's mixed into a flavorful spice rub to enhance the NY Strip steak. My family and I love these tacos and it is a fun twist for our dinner line up!"
