Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Lean sirloin steak (trimmed of fat)
- 1 tablespoon Low sodium taco seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil (for cooking)
- 8 pieces Corn tortillas
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 0.25 cup Red onion (diced)
- 1 cup Tomatoes (diced)
- 0.5 piece Avocado (mashed)
- 1 piece Fresh lime (cut into wedges)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the 12 ounces of lean sirloin steak, then slice it into thin strips about 1/4 inch thick.
In a small bowl, combine the taco seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the steak strips to coat them.
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak strips in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until the steak is browned and cooked through. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
Warm the 8 corn tortillas by placing them directly on a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds per side or until pliable. Alternatively, wrap the tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave for 20-30 seconds.
Assemble the tacos by placing a few cooked steak strips on each tortilla. Top with 2 tablespoons of diced tomatoes, a sprinkle of diced red onion, and 1/2 tablespoon of mashed avocado.
Garnish each taco with freshly chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice. Serve immediately and enjoy!
