Ingredients

• 1 pound Flank steak
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 unit Lime, juiced
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 units Small corn or flour tortillas
• 0.5 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0.25 cup Cotija cheese, crumbled (optional)
• 1 unit Avocado, sliced (optional)
• 0.5 cup Salsa or pico de gallo

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the flank steak in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it. Make sure the steak is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for best flavor.

Step 3

When ready to cook, preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Remove the steak from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your desired level of doneness.

Step 5

Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then slice it thinly against the grain into bite-sized strips.

Step 6

Warm the tortillas on the grill for 20-30 seconds on each side until lightly charred and pliable.

Step 7

Assemble the tacos by layering slices of steak onto each tortilla. Top with red onion, cilantro, Cotija cheese, avocado slices, and salsa or pico de gallo.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy!
