Ingredients

• 1 pound beef flank steak
• 12 pieces corn tortillas
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 small white onion, diced
• 0.5 cup cilantro, chopped
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 1 teaspoon lime zest
• 1 jalapeño, finely diced

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat from the flank steak and pat it dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 3

Rub the marinade evenly over the steak. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.

Step 4

Preheat a grill or cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot.

Step 5

Cook the steak for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your preferred doneness (medium-rare is recommended). Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 6

Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips for tender pieces.

Step 7

While the steak rests, prepare the lime sauce by mixing sour cream, lime zest, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Add diced jalapeño for extra heat, if desired.

Step 8

Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium-high heat for about 20-30 seconds per side until pliable and slightly charred.

Step 9

To assemble the tacos, place a few slices of steak in each tortilla. Top with diced onion and freshly chopped cilantro.

Step 10

Drizzle with the prepared lime sauce for a zesty kick, and serve with additional lime wedges on the side, if desired.
