Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Flank steak
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder (low sodium)
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 8 pieces Corn tortillas (low sodium)
- 0.5 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
- 1 large Avocado, diced
- 4 pieces Fresh lime wedges
- 1 piece Jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, prepare the marinade by combining the lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, paprika, and ground black pepper.
Place the flank steak in a zip-top bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Ensure the steak is fully coated. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.
Grill the steak for approximately 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or cook to your desired level of doneness. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
While the steak rests, warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a flame for 15-20 seconds on each side until pliable and slightly charred.
Assemble the tacos by layering the sliced steak onto the tortillas. Top with thinly sliced red onion, chopped cilantro, diced avocado, and optional jalapeño slices.
Serve the tacos with fresh lime wedges for squeezing over the top, and enjoy your low sodium steak street tacos!
