What is the secret to a Philly cheesesteak?
Making sure you allow the veggies to cook with the steak is going to help flavor the meat. Also thinly shave the steak so it is tender when you bite into it.
What is the original cheese on a Philly cheesesteak?
Cheez Whiz is the original cheese that has been used on a cheesesteak sandwich. Now you can use Cheez Whiz or you can reach for mozzarella, Swiss, etc. It is your personal preference as to what you want on your cheesesteak taco.
Do you use mayo on a Philly cheesesteak?
Mayonnaise is an optional ingredient. If you want to spread mayo on the bread or even on the taco shell go right ahead. Or if you prefer not to mayo then skip adding it in.
How to serve Philly Cheesesteak Tacos?
This can be a meal all in one or served with a side of chips and nacho cheese, rice, or even guacamole salad. Feel free to pick and choose what you want to go with your nachos.
We tend to eat them as a meal in one.
Tips:
If you don’t want to use fried shells you can cook shells in the oven or even an air fryer to create a crispy texture without the oil.
I do recommend a flour tortilla for this, as the corn will be a bit of a harsh flavor pairing with the beef, and veggies.
Variations:
- Swap the steak with thinly sliced boneless chicken.
- Or instead of steak cook ground beef.
- Change up the type of onion used. White or yellow onions are both delicious in this recipe.
- Top with a pico de gallo for added spice factor.
