Ingredients

• 1 pound beef flank steak
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 pieces corn tortillas
• 1 large white onion, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 2 pieces lime, cut into wedges
• 1 medium avocado, sliced
• 2 pieces fresh jalapeños, sliced

Directions

Step 1

Combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper in a medium bowl to form a marinade.

Step 2

Place the beef flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it's evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably 4-6 hours.

Step 3

Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and grill for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust time for desired doneness.

Step 4

Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.

Step 5

While the steak is resting, warm the corn tortillas on the grill or a hot skillet until pliable.

Step 6

Assemble tacos by placing slices of steak on each tortilla, then top with chopped onion, cilantro, a slice of avocado, and jalapeños.

Step 7

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
