Method
Carne Asada Tacos
Marinate the Flank Steak
In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Add the Steak
Place the flank steak in the marinade, ensuring it's fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Rest the Steak
Once cooked, remove the steak from heat and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Slice the Steak
Slice the steak thinly against the grain into strips.
Warm the Tortillas
In a dry skillet, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable.
Assemble Tacos
Place a few slices of the cooked flank steak onto each tortilla. Top with a generous spoonful of Pico de Gallo.
Serve
Serve the tacos with sides of cooked rice and refried beans.
