Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- juice of 2 limes
- 1 Tbsp. cumin
- 1 Tbsp. mild chili powder
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp. ground coriander
- 1-1/2 lb flank steak
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 medium red pepper, sliced
- kosher salt and pepper to taste
- 10 8-inch flour tortillas
Preparation:
- Whisk together olive oil, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, garlic and coriander. Pour into a large zip-loc bag.
- Add the flank steak. Seal. Turn the steak to make sure it is well-coated with the marinade. Place in a large dish in the refrigerator. Marinate 15 minutes to one hour.
- Remove meat from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, heat a cast iron skillet or grill pan over medium high heat. Lightly oil skillet by dipping a paper towel in vegetable oil and spreading over the skillet or pan.
- Grill steak over medium-high heat until it reaches desired doneness, about 3-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
- Remove steak to a carving board to rest for 6-10 minutes.
- Add onions and red pepper slices to the grill pan. Saute until soft, 5-7 minutes.
- Slice steak thinly, against the grain, and return it to the skillet. Cook another minute to allow the flavors to come together.
- To serve, place some of the steak and vegetable mixture in the middle of a flour tortilla. Top with guacamole, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and salsa, if desired. Fold over the sides of the tortilla, and eat.
