Ingredients
For the Steak & Marinade:
1 lb flank or skirt steak
2 tbsp olive oil
Juice of 1 lime
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp chili powder
½ tsp cumin
½ tsp paprika
Salt & pepper to taste
For the Tacos:
8 small corn or flour tortillas
Diced onion
Fresh cilantro
Lime wedges
Optional toppings: avocado, salsa, sour cream, crumbled queso fresco
Instructions
Marinate the steak: Combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic, and spices. Coat steak and marinate for 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours).
Cook the steak: Grill or sear in a hot skillet for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let rest 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
Warm tortillas: Heat tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a flame until warm and slightly charred.
Assemble tacos: Fill each tortilla with steak slices, then top with onion, cilantro, and your favorite extras. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top.
Serve hot: Best enjoyed right away with chips and salsa on the side.
