Ingredients

• 1 lb Skirt steak
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tbsp Lemon juice
• 2 tsp Dried oregano
• 1 tsp Cumin powder
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 8 Whole-grain or sprouted-grain tortillas
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 medium Cucumber, diced
• 0.5 Red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.25 cup Feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
• 0.5 cup Tzatziki sauce
• 1 cup Baby arugula or mixed greens

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, prepare the marinade by combining olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, cumin powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Place the skirt steak in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it. Ensure the steak is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and shake off any excess liquid.

Step 4

Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes per side until it reaches your desired level of doneness (use a meat thermometer if needed). Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.

Step 5

While the steak rests, warm the whole-grain tortillas either on the grill or in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side.

Step 6

Assemble the tacos by layering baby arugula or mixed greens on each tortilla. Add a few slices of the grilled steak, a handful of cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and a few slices of red onion.

Step 7

Drizzle each taco with tzatziki sauce and sprinkle with fresh parsley and optional crumbled feta cheese.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy these Mediterranean-inspired street tacos!
