Ingredients

• 1 pound Flank steak
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 Corn or flour tortillas
• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup Cotija cheese (optional)
• 1 Avocado, sliced
• 0.5 cup Salsa or hot sauce

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, create a marinade by whisking together olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is coated evenly. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for more flavor.

Step 3

Prepare your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly grease the grill grates with a bit of oil to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Grill the steak for 4–5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the steak and desired doneness (medium rare is recommended).

Step 5

Remove the steak from the grill and allow it to rest for 5 minutes on a cutting board. Resting helps retain the juices.

Step 6

While the steak rests, warm your tortillas on the grill or stovetop until they are pliable and slightly charred.

Step 7

Thinly slice the flank steak against the grain into bite-sized strips.

Step 8

Assemble the tacos: Place steak slices onto each tortilla and top with fresh cilantro, red onion slices, cotija cheese (if using), avocado, and a dollop of salsa or drizzle of hot sauce.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful flank steak tacos!
