Method

Marinating the Steak

  1. 1

    Marinate the Flank Steak

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

Cooking the Steak

  1. 2

    Grill the Steak

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

Assembling the Tacos

  1. 3

    Prepare the Tacos

    Warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side. Slice the grilled steak into thin strips. Assemble the tacos by placing steak, Monterey Jack cheese, diced onion, and chopped cilantro on each tortilla. Serve with salsa and lime wedges on the side.
