Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Flank steak
- 0.25 cup Coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Lime juice
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 leaves Romaine lettuce leaves
- 0.5 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 pieces Avocados, sliced
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 pieces Fresh limes, sliced
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine coconut aminos, olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the flank steak in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the steak. Ensure the meat is evenly coated.
Cover the dish or seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours for deeper flavoring.
Preheat an outdoor grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and grill the steak for about 6-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your preferred doneness.
Remove the steak from the grill, cover with foil, and let it rest for about 5 minutes.
Slice the steak thinly across the grain.
To assemble the tacos, lay the romaine lettuce leaves on a serving platter and distribute the steak slices among them.
Top each taco with red onion slices, avocado slices, and fresh cilantro.
Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos before eating.
