Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by cutting the flank steak into small cubes, and season it with salt and pepper. Dice the bacon, bell pepper, and onion.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the diced bacon and cook until crispy. Remove the cooked bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the pan.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté until they are soft, about 3-5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Cook the Steak

    Add the cubed flank steak to the skillet with the vegetables. Cook until the steak is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Return the cooked bacon to the skillet with the steak and vegetables. Stir to combine and let cook for an additional 2 minutes.

  6. 6

    Melt the Cheese

    Sprinkle the Oaxaca cheese over the meat mixture and cover the skillet with a lid. Allow the cheese to melt for about 2-3 minutes.

  7. 7

    Warm the Tortillas

    While the cheese is melting, warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet or directly over the flame until pliable.

  8. 8

    Assemble the Tacos

    Spoon the alambre mixture onto the warm tortillas. Top with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.
