Steak Tacos Recipe

Marinate the Steak

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

Prepare the Flank Steak

Place the flank steak in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for better flavor.

Cook the Steak

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness.

Rest the Steak

Once cooked, transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

Slice the Steak

After resting, slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.

Prepare the Toppings

While the steak is resting, chop the red onion, avocado, and cilantro. Set aside for assembly.

Warm the Tortillas

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

Assemble the Tacos

To assemble, place a few slices of steak on each tortilla. Top with chopped red onion, cilantro, avocado slices, a dollop of sour cream, and a spoonful of salsa.

Serve

Serve the tacos immediately while warm, and enjoy your delicious steak tacos!
