Ingredients

• 1 lb flank steak
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 whole lime
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 12 large romaine lettuce leaves
• 0.5 cup (diced) red onion
• 0.25 cup (chopped) cilantro
• 1 whole (thinly sliced) jalapeño
• 1 whole (sliced) avocado
• 0.25 cup (optional) sour cream

Directions

Step 1

1. Prepare the marinade: In a small bowl, mix olive oil, juice of 1 lime, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

2. Marinate the steak: Place the flank steak in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steak, making sure it's evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours in the refrigerator.

Step 3

3. Preheat the grill or skillet: Heat a grill, grill pan, or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

4. Cook the steak: Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Cook the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the time based on your preferred doneness.

Step 5

5. Rest the steak: Once cooked, transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.

Step 6

6. Prepare the lettuce wraps: While the steak rests, rinse the romaine lettuce leaves and pat them dry. These will serve as your low-carb taco 'shells.'

Step 7

7. Assemble the tacos: Place a few slices of steak onto each lettuce leaf. Top with diced red onion, chopped cilantro, thinly sliced jalapeño, and avocado slices.

Step 8

8. Optional garnish: Add a dollop of sour cream or any additional toppings of your choice, if desired.

Step 9

9. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful low-carb steak street tacos!
