Method

Cooking the Steak

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the flank steak and coat it well with the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Cook the Steak

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and grill or sear it for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached. Allow the steak to rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.

Assembling the Tacos

  1. 3

    Warm the Tortillas

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

  2. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Place a few slices of the cooked steak on each tortilla. Top with chopped cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, and a spoonful of salsa. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
