Ultimate Carne Asada Tacos

Ingredients

• Flank steak (1.5 pounds)
• 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 (8 small)
• Onion (1 small, diced)
• Cilantro (1/2 cup, chopped)
• Avocado (1, sliced)
• Salsa (1 cup)
• Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the 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 and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it's hot enough to give the steak a nice sear.
4. Remove the flank steak from the marinade and discard the excess marinade.
5. Grill the steak for approximately 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C). Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.
6. While the steak is resting, warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
7. To assemble the tacos, place a few slices of grilled steak onto each tortilla. Top with chopped cilantro, diced onion, salsa, and sliced avocado for a burst of freshness.
8. Serve the carne asada tacos with lime wedges on the side for an extra zing.
9. Enjoy!
