Ingredients

• 1 pound Flank steak
• 0.25 cup Gluten-free soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Orange juice
• 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 units Corn tortillas (gluten-free verified)
• 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
• 0.25 cup Onion, chopped
• 4 units Lime wedges
• 1 unit Avocado, sliced

Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, whisk together the gluten-free soy sauce, olive oil, lime juice, orange juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Place the flank steak in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish, and pour the marinade over the steak. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours for better flavor.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the marinade.

Step 5

Grill the steak for 5 to 7 minutes per side until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer if needed, aiming for about 130°F for medium-rare.

Step 6

Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing against the grain into thin strips.

Step 7

While the steak is resting, heat the corn tortillas on the grill or a hot skillet for about 30 seconds per side until warm and pliable.

Step 8

To assemble the tacos, place a few strips of steak in each warm tortilla. Top with chopped cilantro, onion, slices of avocado, and a squeeze of lime juice.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious gluten-free carne asada tacos.
