Method

Meat Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Coat the Steak

    Add the flank steak to the marinade, making sure it is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for better flavor.

  3. 3

    Cook the Steak

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and cook it for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached.

  4. 4

    Rest the Steak

    Once cooked, remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

    Warm the Tortillas

    While the steak is resting, warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  2. 6

    Prepare the Toppings

    Chop the fresh cilantro and red onion, and slice the avocado.

  3. 7

    Assemble the Tacos

    To assemble, place a few strips of steak on each tortilla. Top with chopped cilantro, red onion, a dollop of sour cream, and slices of avocado.

  4. 8

    Add Lime

    Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos for added flavor before serving.
