♥6 tortillas
♥limes, for garnish
♥1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
♥1/3 cup onion, finely diced (optional)
♥1 ½ lbs flank steak
♥ ⅓ cup olive oil
♥3 limes, juiced (about 6 tablespoons juice)
♥½ teaspoon chili powder
♥ salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
STEP 1
♥ Whisk all of the oil, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper together in a bowl.
STEP 2
♥Add the steak to a glass or non-reactive baking tray and pour the marinade on top. Ensure both side of the steak are well coated, cover the baking tray with plastic wrap and marinate for 1 to 4 hours. Alternatively, you could marinate in a plastic bag.
STEP 3
♥Heat a grill on medium-high heat. Add the carne asada and cook for 5 to 7 minutes on each side. Remove the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for another 5 minutes.
STEP 4
♥ Using a sharp knife, slice the carne asada at an angle against the grain. From there, you can further chop the carne asada into smaller pieces, if you'd like.
STEP 5
♥ To serve, place two tortillas on top of each other. Add desired amount of meat, spoon over some tomatillo mixture. Top with onions, tomatoes, avocado and cilantro. Garnish with a wedge of lemon, to be squeezed over taco before eating.
