Tacos

Rice

Beans

Method

Tacos

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add the flank steak and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Steak

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated flank steak for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the desired doneness is reached. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Tacos

    Warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side. Slice the grilled steak thinly and place it on the tortillas. Top with chopped cilantro and diced onions. Serve with lime wedges.

Rice

  1. 4

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the white rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork before serving.

Beans

  1. 5

    Prepare the Beans

    In a small saucepan, heat the canned black beans over medium heat. Stir in cumin and salt. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until heated through. Serve alongside the tacos.
