Olives

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Prepare Marinade

Place the flank steak in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is fully coated. Cover or seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours.

Marinate the Steak

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, heat it on the stove over medium-high heat.

Preheat the Grill

Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the steak for 4-6 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.

Grill the Steak

Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

Rest the Steak

Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.

Slice the Steak

In a dry skillet or on the grill, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

Warm the Tortillas

Place a few slices of grilled steak in the center of each tortilla. Top with chopped cilantro, sliced red onion, and avocado.

Assemble Tacos

Drizzle sour cream or crema over the top, and serve with lime wedges on the side.
