Servings: 6

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.
