Carne Asada Street Tacos

Ingredients

• Flank steak (1.5 lbs)
• Lime juice (1/4 cup)
• Orange juice (1/4 cup)
• Minced garlic (4 cloves)
• Ground cumin (1 teaspoon)
• Chili powder (1 tablespoon)
• Salt (1 teaspoon)
• Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon)
• Corn tortillas (10-12)
• Diced onion (1 cup)
• Chopped cilantro (1/2 cup)
• Salsa (1 cup)
• Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together lime juice, orange juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful marinade.
2. Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag tightly, ensuring the steak is well-coated, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight for maximum flavor).
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it's hot enough to sear the meat.
4. Remove the flank steak from the marinade, discarding the excess marinade.
5. Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness (medium-rare is recommended for tenderness).
6. Once grilled, remove the steak from the grill and allow it to rest for 5-10 minutes to retain its juices.
7. Slice the steak into thin strips against the grain for optimal tenderness.
8. Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or stovetop for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
9. Assemble the tacos by placing a few slices of steak on each tortilla. Top generously with diced onion, chopped cilantro, and a spoonful of salsa.
10. Serve the carne asada street tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness.
