  • Author: Luna
  • Total Time: 57 minute

Ingredients

– 1 pound flank steak
– 1/4 cup lime juice (freshly squeezed)
– 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
– 3 cloves garlic (minced)
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 8 small corn or flour tortillas
– 1 avocado (sliced)
– 1 cup pico de gallo (or salsa)
– Lime wedges (for serving)
– Extra cilantro (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Lime & Cilantro Steak Tacos is straightforward and can be done in just a few easy steps:

1. Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, combine lime juice, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the flank steak and coat it well. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

2. Preheat the Grill: While the steak is marinating, preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

3. Grill the Steak: Remove the steak from the marinade and grill it for 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached.

4. Rest the Steak: Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This helps retain the juices.

5. Slice the Steak: Thinly slice the steak against the grain to ensure tenderness.

6. Warm the Tortillas: While the steak is resting, warm the tortillas on the grill or in a skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until soft.

7. Assemble the Tacos: Place a few slices of steak on each tortilla. Top with sliced avocado and pico de gallo.

8. Garnish: Add extra cilantro for garnish and serve with lime wedges on the side.

9. Enjoy!: Your Lime & Cilantro Steak Tacos are now ready to be enjoyed.
