Ingredients

  • Beef flank steak - 300 grams
  • Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
  • Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
  • Lime juice - 2 tablespoons
  • Cumin - 1 teaspoon
  • Oregano - 1 teaspoon
  • Salt - 1 teaspoon
  • Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Corn tortillas - 4 pieces
  • Shredded cheese (queso fresco or similar) - 100 grams
  • Sour cream - 2 tablespoons
  • Salsa verde - 100 grams
  • Fresh cilantro - for garnish

Steps

  1. In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
  2. Place the flank steak in the marinade, ensuring it is well-coated, and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  3. While the steak is marinating, heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Once the skillet is hot, add the marinated flank steak and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.
  5. Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
  6. In the same skillet, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until soft.
  7. To assemble, place a few slices of steak on each tortilla, top with shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a spoonful of salsa verde.
  8. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.
