Ingredients

• 1 lb Flank steak
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Lime juice
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 1 tsp Chili powder
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 12 pieces Corn tortillas
• 0.5 cup Red onion, finely diced
• 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
• 1 piece Avocado, diced
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (optional, as a sour cream substitute)
• 2 tbsp Hot sauce (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 2

Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for best flavor.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates or pan to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time to your desired level of doneness.

Step 5

Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute. Then, slice the steak thinly against the grain into small strips.

Step 6

While the steak is resting, warm the corn tortillas on the grill or a skillet for about 20 seconds on each side until pliable.

Step 7

Assemble the tacos by dividing the sliced steak among the warmed tortillas. Top each taco with red onion, cilantro, and avocado. Add a dollop of Greek yogurt (if using) and a drizzle of hot sauce, if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy these protein-packed street tacos!
