Ingredients

• 1 lb lean beef steak (e.g., flank or skirt steak)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp ground black pepper
• 1 tsp cumin powder
• 1 tsp chipotle chili powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
• 8 pieces corn tortillas
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0.5 cup red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 whole avocado, sliced
• 1 medium tomato, diced

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat from the steak and pat it dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix olive oil, black pepper, cumin powder, chipotle chili powder, garlic powder, and lime juice to form a marinade.

Step 3

Rub the marinade evenly onto the steak, ensuring all sides are well coated. Let it marinate for at least 20 minutes at room temperature.

Step 4

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Grill the steak for about 4-6 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness is reached.

Step 6

Remove the steak from the heat and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.

Step 7

Warm the corn tortillas on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are soft and pliable.

Step 8

Assemble the tacos by placing a few slices of steak on each tortilla.

Step 9

Top the steak with chopped cilantro, sliced red onion, avocado slices, and diced tomatoes.

Step 10

Serve the tacos immediately, with extra lime wedges on the side if desired.
