Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Skirt steak
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tbsp Lemon juice
- 2 tsp Dried oregano
- 1 tsp Cumin powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 8 Whole-grain or sprouted-grain tortillas
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 medium Cucumber, diced
- 0.5 Red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cup Feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
- 0.5 cup Tzatziki sauce
- 1 cup Baby arugula or mixed greens
Instructions
In a medium bowl, prepare the marinade by combining olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, cumin powder, salt, and black pepper.
Place the skirt steak in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it. Ensure the steak is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and shake off any excess liquid.
Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes per side until it reaches your desired level of doneness (use a meat thermometer if needed). Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
While the steak rests, warm the whole-grain tortillas either on the grill or in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side.
Assemble the tacos by layering baby arugula or mixed greens on each tortilla. Add a few slices of the grilled steak, a handful of cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and a few slices of red onion.
Drizzle each taco with tzatziki sauce and sprinkle with fresh parsley and optional crumbled feta cheese.
Serve immediately and enjoy these Mediterranean-inspired street tacos!
