Grilled Steak Tacos

These grilled steak tacos only look fancy, but they’re actually quite simple and easy to make. The most important part of this recipe is obliviously the grilled steak, which requires minimal ingredients to marinate. You most likely have all the ingredients for the rub and marinade sitting at home right now. I like to load my tacos with a bunch of toppings. In the picture below I include what I put in my taco, but you are welcome to add or omit any of the toppings according to your liking. All the ingredients in this recipe can be found at your local Fred Meyer store.

Ingredients:

1 tbsp chili powder

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp salt

2 lb flank steak

2-3 garlic cloves, pressed

1/4 cup olive oil

Juice of 1 lime

Instructions:

1 . Combine chili powder, cumin, and salt.

2 . Generously rub both sides of the flank steak with the mixed spices.

3 . Whisk together the pressed garlic, olive oil, and lime juice.

4 . Place the flank steak in a large bowl and pour the garlic and olive oil mixture over it. Cover with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 2-4 hours.

5 . Fire up the grill to high heat and cook the marinated steak to your liking (rare, medium rare, or medium well). Remove the steak from the grill and cover with foil for about 10 minutes.

6 . Cut the steak into thin strips and place it into the corn tortillas. Add any topping of your choice. I added homemade Mexican salsa, red onion, avocado, iceberg lettuce, sour cream, cilantro, and queso fresco.
