Dive into the rich culinary heritage of Mexico with these Adobo Marinated Grilled Steak Tacos. The flank steak is marinated in a smoky, tangy adobo sauce that penetrates the meat, making it incredibly flavorful and tender. Grilled to perfection, the steak is then nestled in warm, soft corn tortillas and topped with creamy avocado, crunchy red onion, and fresh cilantro, creating a symphony of textures and flavors in every bite. Perfect for summer gatherings or a cozy weeknight dinner, these tacos are a celebration of tradition and taste. Adobo sauce, with its Spanish roots, has evolved into a cornerstone of Mexican cuisine, symbolizing the fusion of cultures and the love of bold flavors.

Servings: 4

Ingredients

Flank steak
1.5 pounds
Adobo sauce
1/2 cup
Lime juice
2 tablespoons
Garlic
3 cloves, minced
Ground cumin
1 teaspoon
Salt
1 teaspoon
Black pepper
1/2 teaspoon
Corn tortillas
8
Avocado
1, sliced
Red onion
1 small, thinly sliced
Cilantro
1/4 cup, chopped
Lime wedges
for serving

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the adobo sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  2. Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag, ensuring the steak is fully coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grill grates are clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the excess marinade. Allow the steak to come to room temperature for about 15 minutes before grilling.
  5. Grill the steak for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness (medium-rare is recommended for optimal tenderness). Use a meat thermometer for accuracy; aim for 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.
  6. Once grilled, let the steak rest for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy bite.
  7. Meanwhile, warm the corn tortillas on the grill or stovetop for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
  8. Slice the grilled steak against the grain into thin strips for the best texture.
  9. Assemble the tacos by placing a generous amount of steak slices on each tortilla. Top with sliced avocado, thinly sliced red onion, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
  10. Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness. Enjoy your delicious adobo marinated grilled steak tacos!
