Ingredients

• 1 pound lean flank steak
• 2 tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 small whole wheat tortillas
• 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 1 whole sliced avocado
• 0.5 cup sliced red onion
• 0.5 cup nonfat Greek yogurt

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 2

Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the steak, making sure it is evenly coated. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for best flavor.

Step 3

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off.

Step 4

Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Step 5

While the steak is resting, warm the whole wheat tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side, or until soft and pliable.

Step 6

Slice the rested steak thinly against the grain.

Step 7

To assemble the tacos, place a few slices of steak onto each tortilla. Top with chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and sliced red onion.

Step 8

Drizzle each taco with a spoonful of nonfat Greek yogurt as a healthy substitute for sour cream.

Step 9

Serve the tacos immediately, garnished with additional lime wedges if desired.
