Ingredients

• 1 lb Flank steak
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Chili powder
• 1 tsp Cumin
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 8 leaves Romaine lettuce leaves
• 1 medium Avocado
• 2 tbsp Lime juice
• 2 tbsp Greek yogurt (full-fat, unsweetened)
• 2 tbsp Cilantro
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, chopped
• 0.25 cup Red onion, diced
• 1 small Jalapeño, sliced (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Rub the steak with olive oil and coat evenly with the spice mixture. Set aside to marinate while preparing other ingredients, at least 10 minutes.

Step 3

Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust according to your desired doneness.

Step 4

Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.

Step 5

While the steak is resting, prepare the avocado-lime crema. In a small blender or food processor, combine avocado, lime juice, Greek yogurt, and cilantro. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add salt to taste, if needed.

Step 6

Prepare the taco assembly station by washing and patting dry the romaine lettuce leaves. Arrange them on a serving platter.

Step 7

Fill each lettuce leaf with slices of steak, a dollop of the avocado-lime crema, cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, and optional jalapeño slices for added heat.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy these flavorful low-carb steak tacos!
