Ingredients
Steak Marinade:
- 1 pound beef flank steak trimmed of fat
- 2 medium limes
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
Avocado Salsa:
- 1 large avocado pitted, peeled, and chopped
- 2 medium Plum (Roma) tomatoes chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped red onion
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
For Tacos:
- 8 pieces white corn tortillas 6-inch size
Instructions
- Begin by squeezing the limes into a measuring cup. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the lime juice for the salsa.
For Beef Marinade:
- In a resealable plastic bag, combine the lime juice (remaining) with cumin, salt, pepper, and garlic. Add the flank steak, seal, and shake to coat. Marinate in the fridge for about an hour, flipping occasionally.
For Avocado Salsa:
- While the steak marinates, prepare the avocado salsa by mixing the tomatoes, red onion, avocado, reserved lime juice, and additional salt in a medium bowl. Toss until everything is well blended.
For Cooking the Beef:
- When ready to cook, preheat the oven to broil. Remove the beef from the marinade and discard it. Arrange the steak on a rack in a broiler pan.
- Broil for 10 to 15 minutes, 4 to 6 inches from the heat, flipping halfway, until reaching your preferred doneness.
- Let the beef rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
For Assembling Tacos:
- Warm the tortillas as per package instructions. To assemble, distribute the steak strips on the tortillas and top them with approximately 1/4 cup of avocado salsa. Serve and enjoy!
