Method

Meat Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

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

  2. 2

    Coat the Steak

    Coat the flank steak evenly with the marinade. Cover and let it sit for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours for more flavor.

  3. 3

    Cook the Steak

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated flank steak and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached.

  4. 4

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steak from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices.

  5. 5

    Slice the Steak

    Thinly slice the steak against the grain to ensure tenderness.

Taco Assembly

  1. 6

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Tacos

    On each tortilla, place a few slices of the cooked flank steak. Top with fresh cilantro, diced red onion, and sliced avocado.

  3. 8

    Add Toppings

    Drizzle sour cream over the top and squeeze fresh lime juice for added flavor.

  4. 9

    Serve

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