Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ lbs flank or skirt steak
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 ripe avocados, diced
- ½ small red onion, finely chopped
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt to taste
- 8 small corn or flour tortillas
- ½ cup crumbled queso fresco or cotija cheese
- Lime wedges and extra cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
- Combine all steak marinade ingredients in a bowl or zip-top bag. Add steak and marinate for at least 30 minutes (up to 4 hours for deeper flavor).
- While steak marinates, make the avocado salsa: combine all salsa ingredients in a bowl and gently mix. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill steak for 4–5 minutes per side or until desired doneness. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
- Warm tortillas on the grill or in a skillet until slightly charred and pliable.
- Assemble tacos by layering grilled steak, avocado salsa, crumbled cheese, and fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
Notes
- For best flavor, marinate the steak for the full 4 hours.
- Adjust the spiciness of the salsa by adding more or less jalapeño.
- Use fresh ingredients for optimal taste.
