Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine coconut aminos, olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 2
Place the flank steak in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the steak. Ensure the meat is evenly coated.
Step 3
Cover the dish or seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours for deeper flavoring.
Step 4
Preheat an outdoor grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and grill the steak for about 6-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your preferred doneness.
Step 6
Remove the steak from the grill, cover with foil, and let it rest for about 5 minutes.
Step 7
Slice the steak thinly across the grain.
Step 8
To assemble the tacos, lay the romaine lettuce leaves on a serving platter and distribute the steak slices among them.
Step 9
Top each taco with red onion slices, avocado slices, and fresh cilantro.
Step 10
Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos before eating.
