Ingredients

• 1 pound flank steak
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 large Russet potatoes
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 whole lime
• 8 pieces small tortillas
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 cups shredded lettuce
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 0.25 cup chopped cilantro
• 2 cloves minced garlic

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the steak: Pat the flank steak dry with paper towels. Rub it with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 minced garlic clove, and the juice of half a lime. Set aside to marinate while preparing the potatoes.

Step 2

Wash and dice the russet potatoes into small, bite-sized cubes. Toss them in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, chili powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well to evenly coat.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned potatoes and cook for 15-18 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, heat another drizzle of olive oil if needed. Cook the marinated steak over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness (125°F for medium-rare). Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5-7 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.

Step 5

Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or by microwaving them wrapped in a damp paper towel for 30 seconds.

Step 6

Assemble the tacos: Begin by laying down a thin layer of sour cream on each tortilla. Add a few slices of steak, a generous scoop of the crispy potatoes, shredded lettuce, and diced tomatoes. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy your steak and potatoes tacos!
