I should quickly talk about the lettuce and tomotos which are featured in so many of these tacos (and more to come).

Lettuce is pretty simple, I get a head of lettuce for 99 cents usually (depends on sales). I have a crisper, and a head of lettuce stays good (even once I start tearing pieces off of it lol) for 3 weeks or so, sometimes even 4 weeks. It really depends if I go shopping again. IF i'm shopping every 2 weeks, I just replace the head (it's only 99 cents) when I do. That is very easy to always have fresh lettuce. I use it for tacos, lettuce wraps, salad etc (but one head generally lasts me at least 2 weeks).

The tomatoes are a different story but I have and do, get them to last 2 weeks without any deterioration. I get the roma tomatoes (small and firm) because they are the perfect size to use 1 tomato per meal, and I individually wrap each one with a napkin/paper towel. This keeps light off them and keeps them dry. Occasionally i'll see a bit of deterioration by where the stem was by the second week, but I just cut that off and the rest is perfect. This lets me have plenty of fresh tomatoes for 2 weeks (between shopping trips in the age of the virus).

Anyway that is how I have fresh ingrediants for my tacos. The above mentioned flat iron steak btw, generally has a use by date about 7-9 days out from purchase. I tend to just use them by then and not freeze. If I'm gonna use frozen steak I generally use tri tip etc instead.
