Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Grass-fed skirt steak
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Sea salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 whole Juice of lime
- 2 tbsp Avocado oil
- 6 small Grain-free tortillas
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.25 cup Red onion, diced
- 1 whole Avocado, diced
- 1 whole Jalapeño, sliced (optional)
- 4 wedges Fresh lime wedges
Instructions
Start by preparing the steak. In a small bowl, combine cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper to create a spice rub.
Pat the steak dry with a paper towel and rub both sides evenly with the spice mixture. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the steak and let it marinate for 10-15 minutes.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add the avocado oil. Once hot, place the steak in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
While the steak is resting, warm the grain-free tortillas in a separate skillet over low heat or directly over a gas flame for a few seconds on each side.
Assemble the tacos by placing sliced steak onto each tortilla. Top with chopped fresh cilantro, diced red onion, avocado, and optional jalapeño slices.
Serve with fresh lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
