Flank Steak Tacos
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
- Combine chili powder, cumin, and salt.
- Generously rub both sides of the flank steak with the mixed spices.
- Whisk together the pressed garlic, olive oil, and lime juice.
- Place the flank steak in a large bowl and pour the marinade over it. Cover with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 2-4 hours.
- Preheat the grill to high heat and cook the marinated steak to your liking (rare, medium-rare, or medium-well). I prefer mine medium-well and it cooked for about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the steak from the grill and cover with foil for about 10 minutes.
- 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.
