Ingredients
- 1 lb Flank Steak
- 12 small Corn Tortillas
- 0.5 cup White Onion
- 0.25 cup Fresh Cilantro
- 2 whole Lime
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Salsa Verde(optional)
Instructions
- 1
Finely dice the white onion and chop the fresh cilantro. Mix them together in a small bowl and set aside.
- 2
Slice the flank steak into very small, bite-sized cubes. Season thoroughly with salt, cumin, and chili powder.
- 3
Heat the vegetable oil in a large cast-iron skillet or heavy pan over high heat until shimmering.

Add the beef to the skillet in a single layer. Sear without moving for 2 minutes to get a crust, then stir and cook for another 3-4 minutes until fully browned.
- 5
While the beef cooks, warm the corn tortillas on a dry griddle or directly over a gas flame until soft and slightly charred.
- 6
Assemble the tacos by placing a generous spoonful of beef onto two stacked tortillas (traditional street style).
- 7
Top with the onion-cilantro mix and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Serve with salsa verde if desired.
