Lime Steak Tacos

Ingredients

• Steak
• Flank or skirt steak
• Olive oil
• Zest + juice of 2 limes
• Garlic, minced
• Cumin
• Chili powder or smoked paprika
• Salt & black pepper
• Optional: splash of soy or Worcestershire for depth
• Tacos
• Warm corn or flour tortillas

• Lime Crema (optional but )
• Sour cream or Greek yogurt
• Lime juice + zest
• Pinch of salt
• Splash of milk to thin

Instructions

Marinate the steak

Mix olive oil, lime zest/juice, garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt & pepper. Marinate steak 30 minutes to 2 hours.

Grill it hot

Grill over high heat (450–500°F) 3–4 minutes per side until nicely charred and medium-rare to medium.

Rest & slice

Let rest 5–10 minutes, then slice thin against the grain.

Build the tacos

Tortilla → steak → onion → cilantro → avocado → squeeze of fresh lime. Drizzle with lime crema if using.

Pro Tips

Finish the sliced steak with a final squeeze of lime right before serving 

Char your tortillas directly on the grill for extra flavor.

These pair insanely well with mango salsa or chili-lime slaw if you want to level up.
