Mexican the Ultimate Man's Foodie

When I asked my Bandie Wandie what he wanted for Din Din tonight, he said, "Man Food." 
It's because we went to an organic restaurant for lunch...
in other words, we had chick food for lunch. 
The recipe:
Marinade for the beef:
500 g of thinly sliced beef
2 cups of olive oil
2 limes juiced
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
2 cloves garlic minced
1/2 teaspoon of sugar
2 tablespoons of vinegar
salt and pepper
1 cup of cilantro
1) Mix all ingredients and marinate the beef for at least 2 hours.
2) Remove the beef from marinade and fry on skillet until cooked and a bit brown.

Pico de Gallo:
1 cup diced tomatoes
1 cup diced green peppers
1/2 cup diced onion
1 cup cilantro
1 lime juiced
1) Mix all ingredients and refrigerate.

Avocado cream sauce:
1 Avocado
1 container sour cream
2 tablespoons of heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 pinches of salt
1) put all ingredients in a mixer and blend until smooth.
