Taco Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Steak

    Coat the flank steak with the marinade, cover, and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours.

  3. 3

    Cook the Steak

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated flank steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it against the grain into thin strips.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Tortillas

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

  6. 6

    Assemble the Tacos

    Place a few strips of steak on each tortilla. Top with chopped fresh cilantro, diced red onion, and slices of avocado.

  7. 7

    Add Lime

    Squeeze fresh lime juice over the assembled tacos for added flavor.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Serve the steak tacos warm, with extra lime wedges on the side.
