Ingredients

  • 2 lbs flank steak
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 12 small corn tortillas
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup shredded cheese
  • Salsa of choice
  • Lime wedges

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a dry pan until soft and slightly charred.
  4. Assemble the tacos by layering sliced steak, avocado, shredded cheese, and salsa onto each tortilla. Top with lime wedges and serve immediately.
