Asada Taco Ingredients

Method

Directions for Asada Tacos

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

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

  2. 2

    Grill the Steak

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Tacos

    While the steak is resting, warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side. Slice the grilled steak against the grain into thin strips.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Layer the sliced steak onto each tortilla. Top with chopped onion, fresh cilantro, sliced radishes, and avocado. Add salsa or hot sauce to taste.
