Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add the flank steak, ensuring it is well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Grill the Steak

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is achieved. Remove from grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Tortillas

    While the steak is resting, heat the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side until warm and slightly charred.

  4. 4

    Slice and Assemble

    Thinly slice the grilled steak against the grain. Place a portion of the steak on each tortilla and top with shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the tacos with a side of cooked rice and beans.
