Steps:

  • Marinate the meat with the salad dressing overnight and cook them on your BBQ grill.
  • (Do not overcook them or they will be like shoe soles.) Once they are cooked just cut them in strips and eat them in a taco with the salsa.
  • For the pico de gallo just mix everything a couple of hours before you so it will be good and juicy.
  • This salsa is great with Doritos or Tostitos or any itos you like.
