Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Tri-Tip

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and pour over the tri-tip. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  3. 3

    Grill the Tri-Tip

    Remove the tri-tip from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the tri-tip on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is achieved.

  4. 4

    Rest and Slice the Meat

    Once cooked, remove the tri-tip from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes. After resting, slice against the grain into thin strips.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Tacos

    Warm the corn tortillas on the grill for a minute on each side. Top each tortilla with slices of tri-tip, fresh cilantro, avocado, and radishes.
