Ingredients

  • Beef flank steak - 300 grams
  • Guava paste - 100 grams
  • Fresh ginger - 1 tablespoon (grated)
  • Fresh cilantro - 1/4 cup (chopped)
  • Garlic - 2 cloves (minced)
  • Onion - 1 small (finely chopped)
  • Lime juice - 2 tablespoons
  • Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
  • Taco corn tortillas - 4
  • Salt - to taste
  • Black pepper - to taste
  • Water - 1/2 cup

Steps

  1. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until translucent (about 3-4 minutes).
  2. Season the beef flank steak with salt and black pepper, then add it to the skillet. Brown the beef on all sides for about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the grated ginger, guava paste, lime juice, and water to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  4. Cover the skillet and let it cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the beef is tender.
  5. Once cooked, remove the beef from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Shred the beef using two forks.
  6. Return the shredded beef to the skillet, stirring in the chopped cilantro. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  7. Warm the corn tortillas in a separate pan or microwave. Fill each tortilla with the beef mixture and garnish with extra cilantro if desired.
  8. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
