Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Flank steak
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Orange juice
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 12 Corn tortillas
• 1 Red onion, diced
• 0.5 cup Cilantro, chopped
• 1 Avocado, sliced
• 0.5 cup Queso fresco (optional)
• 4 Lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, orange juice, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, ground black pepper, and salt.

Step 2

Place the flank steak in the bowl and ensure it's well coated with the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.

Step 3

Preheat your grill to high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.

Step 4

Grill the flank steak for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.

Step 5

Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.

Step 6

While the steak is resting, warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes per side until soft and pliable.

Step 7

Assemble the tacos by placing slices of carne asada onto each tortilla, then top with diced red onion, chopped cilantro, and avocado slices. Optionally, sprinkle with crumbled queso fresco.

Step 8

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side to squeeze over the tacos just before eating.
