Tacos

Method

Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Steak

    In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub the mixture all over the flank steak.

  2. 2

    Cook the Steak

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Slice the Steak

    Once the steak has rested, slice it thinly against the grain.

Black Bean Salsa Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Salsa

    In a bowl, combine black beans, diced tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld.

Caramelized Onions Preparation

  1. 5

    Caramelize the Onions

    Slice the onion thinly. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, add the onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are soft and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.

Chipotle Aioli Preparation

  1. 6

    Make the Aioli

    In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, chopped chipotle peppers, and lime juice until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.

Assembling Tacos

  1. 7

    Warm the Tortillas

    Heat corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until warm and pliable.

  2. 8

    Assemble the Tacos

    On each tortilla, layer sliced steak, caramelized onions, black bean salsa, a drizzle of chipotle aioli, shredded cheddar cheese, pico de gallo, and fresh cilantro leaves.
