Ingredients

  • Flank steak - 300 grams
  • Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
  • Lime juice - 1 tablespoon
  • Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
  • Salt - 1 teaspoon
  • Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Corn tortillas - 4 pieces
  • Fresh cilantro - 1/4 cup, chopped
  • Red onion - 1/4 cup, diced
  • Avocado - 1 medium, sliced
  • Salsa verde - 1/4 cup

Steps

  1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, cumin, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
  2. Add the flank steak to the marinade, ensuring it's well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated flank steak for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
  4. Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
  5. While the steak is resting, warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
  6. Assemble each taco by placing a portion of sliced steak on a tortilla, then top with chopped cilantro, diced red onion, avocado slices, and a spoonful of salsa verde.
  7. Serve the tacos hot and enjoy your high-protein breakfast!
