Description

Delicious marinated steak tacos with bold flavors of cumin, garlic, and lime, perfect for outdoor gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank steak
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 limes, juiced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Corn or flour tortillas
  • Toppings: diced onions, cilantro, lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Whisk together olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. Place the flank steak in the marinade, ensuring it gets coated evenly, then cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, allowing it to reach a sizzling temperature that seals in the juices.
  4. Grill the steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
  5. Remove the steak and let it rest for a few minutes, allowing the juices to redistribute.
  6. Warm the tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side, until they become soft and pliable.
  7. Assemble your tacos by placing a generous portion of sliced steak onto each tortilla and topping with diced onions, cilantro, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.

Notes

For best results, marinate the steak overnight for maximum flavor. Adjust the chili powder and toppings to your taste.
