Ingredients

• 1 pound Flank steak
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 2 units Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 12 units Corn tortillas
• 1 unit White onion, chopped
• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0.5 cup Salsa
• 0.5 cup Crumbled cotija cheese
• 4 units Lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

Combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the flank steak in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it, ensuring the steak is well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for best results.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Place the steak on the grill.

Step 5

Grill the steak for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness. For medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 135°F.

Step 6

Transfer the cooked steak to a cutting board and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute within the meat.

Step 7

While the steak is resting, warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are soft and pliable.

Step 8

Thinly slice the rested steak against the grain to ensure it remains tender.

Step 9

To assemble the tacos, place a few slices of steak onto each tortilla.

Step 10

Top with chopped white onion, fresh cilantro, salsa, and crumbled cotija cheese.

Step 11

Serve the tacos with a wedge of lime on the side for squeezing over the top.
