Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 whole lime
- 8 pieces small tortillas
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 0.25 cup chopped cilantro
- 2 cloves minced garlic
Instructions
Begin by preparing the steak: Pat the flank steak dry with paper towels. Rub it with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 minced garlic clove, and the juice of half a lime. Set aside to marinate while preparing the potatoes.
Wash and dice the russet potatoes into small, bite-sized cubes. Toss them in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, chili powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well to evenly coat.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned potatoes and cook for 15-18 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat another drizzle of olive oil if needed. Cook the marinated steak over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness (125°F for medium-rare). Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5-7 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or by microwaving them wrapped in a damp paper towel for 30 seconds.
Assemble the tacos: Begin by laying down a thin layer of sour cream on each tortilla. Add a few slices of steak, a generous scoop of the crispy potatoes, shredded lettuce, and diced tomatoes. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
Serve immediately and enjoy your steak and potatoes tacos!
