  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

For the Steak:
– 1 pound flank steak
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 tablespoons lime juice
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper

For the Avocado Salsa:
– 2 ripe avocados, diced
– 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– ½ red onion, finely chopped
– 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
– ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
– 2 tablespoons lime juice
– Salt to taste

For Serving:
– 8 small corn or flour tortillas
– Lime wedges (for garnish)
– Extra cilantro (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Grilled Steak Tacos with Avocado Salsa is easy if you follow these simple steps:

1. Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Add the flank steak and ensure it’s well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

2. Prepare the Avocado Salsa: In another bowl, gently mix diced avocados, cherry tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño (if using), cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.

3. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat. If you’re using a grill pan, preheat it on the stove.

4. Grill the Steak: Remove the steak from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer it more well-done.

5. Rest the Steak: Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

6. Slice the Steak: After resting, slice the steak against the grain into thin strips. This helps ensure tenderness.

7. Warm the Tortillas: While the steak is resting, warm the tortillas on the grill or in a skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

8. Assemble the Tacos: Take a warm tortilla and fill it with sliced steak. Top generously with avocado salsa.

9. Garnish and Serve: Add lime wedges and extra cilantro on the side for garnish.

By following these steps, you’ll be well on your way to enjoying a plateful of delicious grilled steak tacos!
