Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Flank steak
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 unit Lime, juiced
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 units Small corn or flour tortillas
- 0.5 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.25 cup Cotija cheese, crumbled (optional)
- 1 unit Avocado, sliced (optional)
- 0.5 cup Salsa or pico de gallo
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the flank steak in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it. Make sure the steak is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for best flavor.
When ready to cook, preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Remove the steak from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your desired level of doneness.
Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then slice it thinly against the grain into bite-sized strips.
Warm the tortillas on the grill for 20-30 seconds on each side until lightly charred and pliable.
Assemble the tacos by layering slices of steak onto each tortilla. Top with red onion, cilantro, Cotija cheese, avocado slices, and salsa or pico de gallo.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
