Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank steak
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • Juice of 2 fresh limes
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 corn tortillas

Instructions

  1. Marinate the steak: In a bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, cumin, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture over the flank steak and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat the grill: Heat your grill to medium-high (about 400°F).
  3. Grill the steak: Place the marinated steak on the grill and cook for about 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches 135°F.
  4. Make the avocado salsa: While the steak rests, combine diced avocados, red onion, cherry tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  5. Warm tortillas: Toast corn tortillas on the grill for about a minute until soft.
  6. Assemble tacos: Slice rested steak against the grain into thin strips. Fill each tortilla with steak slices and top with avocado salsa.

Notes

  • Marinate the steak for at least an hour for best results.
  • Use fresh ingredients for the avocado salsa.
  • Slice steak against the grain for tenderness.
  • Customize with your favorite toppings like queso fresco or shredded cheese.
  • Store leftovers separately in airtight containers.
  • Reheat steak gently on a skillet.
