Quick Santa Fe Steak Marinade

A simple marinade is the key to these bold and smoky tacos. Using Urban Accents Santa Fe BBQ Dryglaze, the steak absorbs deep, rich flavors in just an hour. Cutting the steak into cubes before cooking helps it sear quickly while keeping every bite juicy and flavorful.

🌽 Corn (fresh or canned)
🫘 Black beans for texture and protein
🌶️ Poblanos & tomatoes for a pop of flavor
