Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb lean beef steak (e.g., flank or skirt steak)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tsp cumin powder
- 1 tsp chipotle chili powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 8 pieces corn tortillas
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 whole avocado, sliced
- 1 medium tomato, diced
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the steak and pat it dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, black pepper, cumin powder, chipotle chili powder, garlic powder, and lime juice to form a marinade.
Rub the marinade evenly onto the steak, ensuring all sides are well coated. Let it marinate for at least 20 minutes at room temperature.
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
Grill the steak for about 4-6 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness is reached.
Remove the steak from the heat and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
Warm the corn tortillas on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are soft and pliable.
Assemble the tacos by placing a few slices of steak on each tortilla.
Top the steak with chopped cilantro, sliced red onion, avocado slices, and diced tomatoes.
Serve the tacos immediately, with extra lime wedges on the side if desired.
