Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 4 lime wedges
- 0.5 cup cotija cheese, crumbled
Instructions
In a bowl, mix together olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes up to 2 hours.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the marinade.
Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is achieved.
Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then, slice it thinly against the grain.
While the steak is resting, warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side, until pliable.
Assemble the tacos by placing slices of steak in each tortilla. Top with chopped onion, cilantro, slices of avocado, and crumbled cotija cheese.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
