Amazing Grilled Mexican Street Tacos
It’s a simple and quick recipe to make your flank steak more flavorful. All you need is 1 hour of marinating before throwing it onto the skillet for some tacos with diced onions and cilantro (or lime) juice!
Equipment
- Grill
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp fresh oregano
- kosher salt to taste
- 1 ½ lbs flank steak
- 12 mini flour tortillas, warmed
- ¾ cup onions - red or white
- fresh cilantro
- Limes cut into wedges
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to 350F
- In a bowl, combine soy sauce, lime juice, 1 tbsp of olive oil, garlic, chili powder, cumin, and oregano. Salt to taste
- Cut the flank steak to where you can rub the mixture on the entire surface of the meat. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour. Turn it occasionally.
- Take it to the grill and cook each side for 5-6 minutes or till the internal temperature reach 145F. Be careful not to overcook; otherwise, the meat is not tender enough.
- Place the tortillas on the grill until they are soft and lightly charred. You'll want to slice the steak thinly against the grain.
- Serve the steak in tortillas, topped with the cilantro, onion, and lime
Notes
Street tacos go well with avocados, beans, and rice. Slice up some avocados and enjoy.
