Method

Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Coat the Steak

    Add the flank steak to the marinade, ensuring it is fully coated. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.

  3. 3

    Cook the Steak

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade. Cook the steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached.

  4. 4

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  5. 5

    Slice the Steak

    Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.

Taco Assembly

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Warm the corn tortillas on a skillet or in the microwave until soft and pliable.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Tacos

    On each tortilla, add a portion of the sliced steak. Top with fresh cilantro, diced red onion, sliced avocado, a dollop of sour cream, and salsa.

  3. 8

    Serve

    Serve the tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side.
