Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Flank steak
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 8 leaves Romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Avocado
- 2 tbsp Lime juice
- 2 tbsp Greek yogurt (full-fat, unsweetened)
- 2 tbsp Cilantro
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, chopped
- 0.25 cup Red onion, diced
- 1 small Jalapeño, sliced (optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the steak with olive oil and coat evenly with the spice mixture. Set aside to marinate while preparing other ingredients, at least 10 minutes.
Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust according to your desired doneness.
Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
While the steak is resting, prepare the avocado-lime crema. In a small blender or food processor, combine avocado, lime juice, Greek yogurt, and cilantro. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add salt to taste, if needed.
Prepare the taco assembly station by washing and patting dry the romaine lettuce leaves. Arrange them on a serving platter.
Fill each lettuce leaf with slices of steak, a dollop of the avocado-lime crema, cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, and optional jalapeño slices for added heat.
Serve immediately and enjoy these flavorful low-carb steak tacos!
