- 1 lb Lean flank steak
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- 0.5 tsp Smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp Lime juice
- 8 small Corn tortillas

- 0.5 cup Diced tomatoes

Instructions
Trim any visible fat from the flank steak to ensure it remains lean. Place the steak on a clean cutting board.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir in lime juice to create a marinade.
Rub the marinade evenly over both sides of the flank steak. Place the steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor.
Preheat a grill pan, outdoor grill, or large skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of olive oil or non-stick spray.
Remove the steak from the marinade and pat dry slightly to prevent excess dripping. Sear the steak for 4–5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness (135°F for medium-rare). Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
While the steak rests, warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over low heat for about 30 seconds per side or until pliable.
Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips or bite-sized pieces. Divide the steak evenly among the warmed tortillas.
Top each taco with diced onion, fresh cilantro, and diced tomatoes. For added creaminess, dollop a small amount of low-fat Greek yogurt if desired.
Serve with lime wedges on the side for extra zest. Enjoy your low-fat steak street tacos piping hot!
