Summer is almost at an end, the kids are going back to school but we’re trying to stretch those summer days with family as much as we can. One of our favorite things to do in summer is grilling. Putting steaks on the grill and letting the smell of smoky churrasco fill the air brings me so many memories of summers spent back home in Guatemala at my grandparents granja. Mi abuelo Francis loved grilling and he would go beyond grilling steaks, he also loved to grill mushrooms that we would buy at the mercado in the small town of San Juan Sacatepequez. Some of the most fond memories of my childhood are tied to that small farm, playing with my cousins, exploring, taking a walk down to the waterfall and looking for mushrooms.
This weekend as we got ready for the kids to start school we made some delicious churrasco tacos. As the steaks sizzled in the grill I shared with my kids those childhood memories and told them all about the abuelo’s granja back in Gutemala.
For this recipe I got some inspiration by the churrasco with chimichurri sauce recipe I found on the Vive Mejor website I decided to create one of my own. I love that this recipe uses Knorr bouillon to season the steak and the chimichurri sauce. Knorr was a brand that my family, from mom to grandmother, have used in their kitchens always and creating recipes using Knorr and passing those down to my kids is part of our family’s cooking tradition now.

Grilling is one of my favorite things about summer too. Thankfully, here in the south, we can grill just about all year long. I’ll have to add skirt steak to my grocery list so I can make your tacos. They look amazing.
Your churrasco tacos look scrumptious. Not sure why we never make anything but traditional tacos but I have Pinned your recipe and I’m adding this to my menu soon! I love the fact that it doesn’t require a ton of ingredients!
This looks AH-mazing! For some reason I am always craving something like this! I am hungry just looking at the screen now! I KNOW I will add these to my list for next week to try.
These sound absolutely delicious, I love the idea of having this for dinner, I bet it has a gorgeous taste to it with the sauce and it having been grilled.
These tacos look amazing. I am always looking for new ideas for dinner and this looks like a great recipe. I can’t wait to make these.
Love throwing together meals like this for a week night. Your sauce sounds especially great and different for a topping.
These are two of my favorite things: tacos and Chimichurri! I love how simple and easy this recipe it is.
Those sound very good! I have never made chimichurri sauce, but this sounds like it is really easy! Thanks for the recipe!
I am so loving this meal and loving that their is no chili with this recipe as most times I see people adding chili.
I loved chimichurri ever since I first tasted and I have been making it ever since for steaks and for other recipes! I think this is awesome and it’s definitely something that both me and my husband will enjoy.
This Churrasco taco recipe looks amazing. Think I’ll have to make this for lunch or dinner soon. I’ll be sure to check out the Vive Mejor website for some recipe inspiration.
Oh my goodness, these look amazing! I have to try them out. I love tacos and trying different recipes, so it’ll be on my recipe list for SURE! Yum!
This does sound absolutely delicious. I love making tacos and this is such a great way to do that. There is just something so fun about cooking it up and putting it all together.
These chimichanga tacos look amazing another recipe to add to the meal planning list .
Chimichurry (argentinian sauce), very different from chimichanga(tex-mex)
Yummm! I love tacos and always looking for new recipes to change them up a bit! Will have to give these ones a try on the weekend!
The chimichurri sauce sounds delicious. We are big on garlic in this house and I am sure my husband and kids would love this recipe. Thanks for sharing. We’re making this very soon.
Oh this looks so delish! I love tacos. It will be a perfect for our midnight snack.
I need to break out of my taco mode. All I ever fix is the same ole tacos. I’m going to have to try your recipe and other recipes I’ve found so we don’t get bored with tacos.
The tacos look great!!
The problem with using Knorr’s is they have very little actual chicken in their chicken broth. Got anything better than this chemically laden chicken (sic) broth?
One of my favorite and easy make foods I love to eat. Can’t wait to have this for dinner!
These tacos sound absolutely amazing! I think I might attempt to make these for dinner tonight because they look so mouthwateringly delicious! My family will be so happy when I make these!
This looks really interesting and healthy. I am excited to try this since I love chimichurri sauce. Would you recommend trying other meats with this? Perhaps chicken or pork?
DUDE! That was awesome! The meat looked fantastic, and the final product was just plain KILLER! I could inhale about 3 of them right here, right now
Did this without the chimichurri and it was a big hit. People thought it was a bit rare to the eyes, but they were converts when they tasted it. I did about 4 minutes a side but I had a bigger steak. I’m gonna try it with the sauce this weekend. Great blog!
It’s damn near raw, but it looks good. I would have to have it well done. I can’t wait to try that sauce
LOL! I do like my meat red but you can definitely make these with your meat well done. Enjoy!
