Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Flank steak
- 2 tablespoons Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 Keto-friendly tortillas
- 1 Avocado
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
- 1 Lime
- 8 Lettuce leaves
Instructions
In a bowl, combine the chipotle peppers, olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the flank steak in a large resealable bag. Pour the marinade over the steak, seal the bag, and massage the marinade into the meat. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and grill for 5-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
Transfer the cooked steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then, thinly slice the steak against the grain.
In a blender or food processor, combine the avocado, sour cream, cilantro, and juice of 1 lime. Blend until smooth to make the avocado-lime cream.
Prepare the keto-friendly tortillas by warming them on the grill or skillet for about 1 minute on each side.
To assemble the tacos, place a lettuce leaf on each tortilla, add a few slices of steak, and top with the avocado-lime cream.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Keto Chipotle Steak Tacos!
