- 1 tbsp garlic powder

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the flank steak with vegetable oil, lime juice, soy sauce, cilantro, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
- Heat a grill or grill pan over medium high heat. Grill the marinated steak to desired doneness, about 4 6 minutes per side for medium rare. Let it rest for 5 minutes before thinly slicing against the grain.
- Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a dry pan until soft and slightly charred.
- Assemble the tacos by layering sliced steak, avocado, shredded cheese, and salsa onto each tortilla. Top with lime wedges and serve immediately.
