Steak Taco Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the flank steak and coat it well. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Cook the Steak

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

  3. 3

    Warm the Tortillas

    While the steak is resting, warm the corn tortillas on a hot skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips. Place a few slices on each tortilla. Top with fresh cilantro, red onion, diced avocado, a dollop of sour cream, and salsa.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the tacos immediately, garnished with additional lime wedges if desired.
