Instructions
Place the flank steak in a shallow dish or a zip-top plastic bag.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Once hot, remove the steak from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until desired level of doneness is achieved.
Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
Warm the flour tortillas on the grill or a skillet for about 30 seconds on each side.
Assemble the tacos by placing slices of steak onto each tortilla.
Top with fresh cilantro, diced onion, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and a drizzle of sour cream.
Add hot sauce to taste, if desired, and serve immediately.
