Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Season the flank steak with salt, pepper, and any additional spices of your choice. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  2. 2

    Caramelize the Onions

    In a skillet, add a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Slice the onion and add it to the skillet. Cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and caramelized.

  3. 3

    Make the Pineapple Salsa

    In a bowl, combine the diced pineapple with a pinch of salt, lime juice, and chopped cilantro if desired. Mix well and set aside.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Warm the corn tortillas on a skillet or in the microwave. Layer the sliced steak, caramelized onions, mixed cabbage, and pineapple salsa on each tortilla. Top with shredded Oaxaca cheese.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the tacos with lime wedges and additional salsa on the side if desired.
