Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Flank Steak

    Start by marinating the flank steak to enhance its flavor.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic cloves, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

  3. 3

    Place the flank steak in the marinade and ensure it's evenly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.

  4. 4

    Cook the Steak

    Grill or sear the marinated steak to perfection.

  5. 5

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off.

  6. 6

    Cook the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy (135°F for medium-rare).

  7. 7

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

  8. 8

    Prepare the Toppings

    While the steak is resting, prepare your taco toppings.

  9. 9

    Chop the fresh cilantro, dice the avocado, and finely slice the red onion.

  10. 10

    Cut limes into wedges for serving.

  11. 11

    Assemble the Tacos

    Put together your delicious steak tacos.

  12. 12

    Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  13. 13

    Slice the rested steak against the grain into thin strips.

  14. 14

    Layer the sliced steak on each tortilla and top with cilantro, avocado, and red onion.

  15. 15

    Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos before serving.
