Method

Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade. Rub the mixture all over the flank steak. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

  2. 2

    Cook the Steak

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and place it on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Slice the Steak

    Using a sharp knife, slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.

    Prepare the Toppings

    While the steak is resting, finely chop the red onion and cilantro. Slice the avocado and cut the limes into wedges.

  2. 5

    Warm the Tortillas

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

  3. 6

    Assemble the Tacos

    On each warm tortilla, add a few slices of the grilled steak. Top with chopped red onion, cilantro, a slice of avocado, and a dollop of sour cream. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top to taste.
