Instructions
In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, dried oregano, chopped chipotle pepper, lime juice, salt, and black pepper to make a marinade.
Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably 2-3 hours, to let the flavors infuse.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Remove the steak from the marinade and grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
Warm the whole wheat tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side.
To assemble the tacos, layer slices of grilled steak on each tortilla.
Top with halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, crumbled feta cheese, chopped cilantro, and sliced avocado.
Serve immediately and enjoy the Mediterranean flavors with a delicious chipotle kick!
