Quick and flavorful street-style steak tacos with a simple marinade, seared steak, and fresh toppings on warm corn tortillas.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs flank steak
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 1/2 cup chopped white onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Add flank steak and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
  2. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Remove steak from marinade and discard marinade. Sear steak for 3-5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness.
  3. Let steak rest for 5-10 minutes, then thinly slice against the grain.
  4. Warm corn tortillas on the skillet or griddle until pliable.
  5. Fill each tortilla with sliced steak, chopped onion, and fresh cilantro.
  6. Serve immediately with lime wedges.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can grill the steak instead of searing it in a skillet.
  • Serve with your favorite salsa for an added kick.
  • Consider adding a sprinkle of cotija cheese for a salty finish.
