Ingredients
- Flank steak
- 1 pound
- Corn tortillas
- 12
- Avocado
- 2, sliced
- Salsa
- 1 cup
- Onion
- 1 medium, diced
- Cilantro
- 1/2 cup, chopped
- Lime juice
- 1/4 cup
- Orange juice
- 1/4 cup
- Garlic
- 3 cloves, minced
- Cumin
- 1 teaspoon
- Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon
- Pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon
Instructions
- In a bowl, blend together lime juice, orange juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
- Immerse the flank steak in the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. For a deeper flavor, marinate overnight.
- Heat the grill to medium-high temperature.
- Remove the steak from the marinade, shaking off the excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
- Grill the steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your preferred level of doneness. Let it rest for a few minutes, then slice it thinly against the grain.
- Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or stovetop until pliable and slightly charred.
- Assemble the tacos by laying a few slices of grilled steak on each tortilla. Top with a sprinkle of chopped cilantro, a spoonful of diced onion, a dollop of salsa, and a few slices of avocado.
- Serve the Tacos de Asada immediately, with additional salsa and lime wedges on the side for extra zest.
Tips
- For a smokier flavor, try adding a bit of smoked paprika to the marinade.
- To easily warm tortillas, wrap a stack in damp paper towels and microwave for 30 seconds.
