Steak Taco Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the flank steak, coating 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 cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Prepare Tortillas

    While the steak is resting, warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat until pliable, about 30 seconds on each side.

  4. 4

    Assemble Tacos

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