Description

Juicy, marinated steak is grilled to perfection and served in warm tortillas with a vibrant and fresh lime cilantro slaw.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 lb flank steak
  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 limes, juiced
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • Cotija cheese for serving

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, cilantro, garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the marinade for the slaw.
  2. Place the steak in a shallow dish and pour the remaining marinade over it. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
  3. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the steak for 5-7 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
  4. While the steak rests, toss the shredded cabbage and red onion with the reserved 2 tablespoons of marinade to create the slaw.
  5. Warm the tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds per side.
  6. Assemble tacos by placing sliced steak on a tortilla, topping with the lime cilantro slaw, and crumbling cotija cheese over the top.
