Directions to Make Our Favorite Grilled Steak Tacos
- Place the steak in a 9×13 pan and drench it with your lime juice. Allow the uice to marinate the meat for half an hour, at room temperature.
- Blend the lime zest and all of the dry ingredients into a small bowl.
- Smear both sides of the steak with your zesty spice blend, using your fingers to help keep it sticking to the meat.
- Preheat your grill to high heat.
- Take a paper towel, give it a light coating of olive oil, grip the oiled paper with your grill tongs and run it along the grill rack.
- Place the steak directly onto your oiled grill and cook each side for 5 minutes.
- Remove the steak from the grill after both sides have cooked and transfer it to a cutting board.
- Completely cover the steak with aluminum foil and give it 10 minutes to rest.
- As the steak rests, warm your tortillas up by either leaving them on the grill or giving them a slight char with a gas flame.
- Cut the steak like a fajita, going for strips cut against the grain.
- Place your strips of steak into your corn tortillas and then top them with the onion, avocado, cilantro, and cheese. Feel free to give each tortilla a squeeze of lime juice or leave that up to each person you are serving.
- Serve while warm and enjoy.!
