Ingredients
- 1 lb beef flank steak 3 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice 2 tbsp olive oil 1 tsp kosher salt 1/2 tsp ground black pepper 8 small corn tortillas 1 cup salsa (store
- bought or homemade) 1 cup shredded cheese (Monterey Jack or Cheddar) 1 avocado, sliced 1/2 cup cilantro leaves Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- In a large ziplock bag, combine the beef flank steak, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Seal and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
- Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan to medium high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing any excess liquid to drip off. Grill the steak for 5 6 minutes per side or until desired doneness is reached. Let rest for 5 minutes before thinly slicing against the grain.
- Warm the corn tortillas on the grill for 20 30 seconds per side, or in a dry skillet over medium heat.
- Assemble tacos by placing a few slices of steak, a dollop of salsa, a sprinkle of cheese, and avocado slices on each tortilla. Top with fresh cilantro leaves and a squeeze of lime. Serve immediately.
Chef’s Insight
To amp up the flavor, marinate the steak overnight for deeper flavor penetration.
Notes
For a spicier taco, add more salsa or hot sauce to taste.
