Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb flank steak
- 12 corn tortillas
- 3 lime
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 4 clove garlic
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 red onion
- 1 bunch cilantro
- 2 1/2 tsp kosher salt
Method
Rub the steak with olive oil, cumin, chili powder, minced garlic, salt, and the juice of one lime. Let sit 15 minutes.
Heat a grill pan over high until smoking and sear the steak 5 minutes per side for medium-rare.
Rest the steak 10 minutes on a board, then slice thinly against the grain and chop into bite-size pieces.
Finely dice the red onion and chop the cilantro; toss together with a squeeze of lime.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry pan until pliable and blistered in spots.
Fill each tortilla with steak and the onion-cilantro mix, with lime wedges alongside.
