Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, dried oregano, chopped chipotle pepper, lime juice, salt, and black pepper to make a marinade.

Step 2

Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably 2-3 hours, to let the flavors infuse.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Remove the steak from the marinade and grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.

Step 5

Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.

Step 6

Warm the whole wheat tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side.

Step 7

To assemble the tacos, layer slices of grilled steak on each tortilla.

Step 8

Top with halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, crumbled feta cheese, chopped cilantro, and sliced avocado.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy the Mediterranean flavors with a delicious chipotle kick!
