Ingredients

• 1 pound Flank steak
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 12 pieces Corn tortillas
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
• 1 cup Shredded cabbage
• 0.5 cup Diced red onion
• 0.5 cup Diced tomatoes
• 1 piece Sliced jalapeño (optional)
• 4 pieces Lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

Place the flank steak on a cutting board and pat it dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a seasoning blend.

Step 3

Rub the seasoning blend evenly over both sides of the flank steak. Let the steak rest at room temperature for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 4

While the steak is resting, prepare the lime mayo by mixing mayonnaise, lime juice, and finely chopped cilantro in a small bowl. Set aside.

Step 5

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steak for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your preferred level of doneness (135°F for medium-rare).

Step 6

Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 7

Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds per side to soften them.

Step 8

Thinly slice the rested steak against the grain to ensure tender pieces.

Step 9

Assemble the tacos by dividing the sliced steak among the warmed tortillas. Top each taco with shredded cabbage, diced red onion, diced tomatoes, and sliced jalapeño if desired.

Step 10

Drizzle the lime mayo over the tacos and serve with a lime wedge on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.

Step 11

Enjoy your steak tacos with lime mayo while they’re fresh and warm!
