Method

Marinating the Steak

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix together olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Steak

    Place the flank steak into a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for better flavor.

Cooking the Steak

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Heat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).

  2. 4

    Grill the Steak

    Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Place it on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness.

  3. 5

    Rest the Steak

    Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

  4. 6

    Slice the Steak

    Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.

Assembling the Tacos

  1. 7

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a skillet over medium heat, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable.

  2. 8

    Build the Tacos

    Place a few slices of the grilled steak onto each tortilla. Top with chopped onions, cilantro, tomatoes, and a slice of avocado.

  3. 9

    Serve

    Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
