Method

Meat Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Flank Steak

    Rub the flank steak with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cumin. Ensure that the spices cover the meat evenly.

  2. 2

    Cook the Flank Steak

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned flank steak and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and let it rest.

  3. 3

    Shred the Steak

    Once the steak is cool enough to handle, shred it using two forks or your hands.

Vegetable Preparation

  1. 4

    Chop the Vegetables

    Finely chop the onion, bell pepper, tomato, and jalapeño pepper. Set aside.

  2. 5

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet used for the steak, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften. Then, add the tomato and jalapeño, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Combining Ingredients

  1. 6

    Combine Meat and Vegetables

    Add the shredded flank steak back to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Mix well to combine.

  2. 7

    Add Lime Juice and Cilantro

    Stir in the lime juice and cilantro, mixing well. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.

Serving

  1. 8

    Prepare the Tortillas

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

  2. 9

    Serve

    Spoon the machaca filling onto each tortilla and serve immediately, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
