Ingredients

• 1 lb Flank steak
• 2 tbsp Coconut aminos
• 2 tbsp Lime juice
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp Chili powder
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 1 tsp Sea salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 8 Cassava flour tortillas (or other Paleo tortillas)
• 1 cup Romaine lettuce, shredded
• 1 Tomato, diced
• 0.5 Red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 Avocado, sliced
• 4 Lime wedges
• 1 tbsp Avocado oil (for cooking)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, sea salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 2

Place the flank steak in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag, and pour the marinade over it. Ensure the steak is fully coated, then cover or seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 4 hours for more intense flavor).

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the avocado oil.

Step 4

Remove the steak from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and cook in the pan for 4-6 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if desired. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.

Step 5

Warm the cassava flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes on each side, or according to package instructions.

Step 6

Assemble the tacos by layering shredded lettuce, diced tomato, red onion, steak slices, avocado, and fresh cilantro on each tortilla.

Step 7

Serve with lime wedges on the side for an added burst of flavor.
