Ingredients

  • 10 oz mareco (or beef/steak strips)
  • 1 lime
  • 3 cups cabbage (green or purple), shredded
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 6 tortillas (corn or flour)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp cilantro, chopped(optional)
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced(optional)

  1. 1

    Prep (15 min): Shred the cabbage and thinly slice the red onion (if using). In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, juice of 1/2 lime, salt, and pepper; toss with cabbage (and onion if using).

    Season (5 min): Pat the mareco dry. In a bowl, combine garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub the spice mix over the mareco.

  3. 3

    Sear (12 min): Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear mareco in a single layer, 3–4 minutes per side (work in batches if needed) until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness. Remove to a plate and rest 2 minutes, then slice.
