For the Tacos

Method

Marinating the Steak

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

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

  2. 2

    Marinate the Steak

    Place the flank steak in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for best flavor.

Cooking the Steak

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Pan

    Preheat your grill to high heat or a skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook the Steak

    Remove the steak from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Grill or sear the steak for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  3. 5

    Slice the Steak

    Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.

Assembling the Tacos

  1. 6

    Prepare the Toppings

    While the steak is resting, finely chop the red onion, cilantro, and radishes. Slice the avocado.

  2. 7

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a dry skillet, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  3. 8

    Assemble the Tacos

    Place some steak strips on each tortilla, then top with red onion, cilantro, avocado slices, and radishes. Add a dollop of sour cream and a squeeze of lime juice before serving.
