Steps
- In a medium bowl, combine tamarind paste, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
- Cut the beef flank steak into thin strips and add it to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the marinated beef strips to the skillet and cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and cooked through.
- While the beef is cooking, warm the corn tortillas on a hot skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
- To assemble the tacos, place a portion of the beef mixture on each tortilla, top with fresh cilantro, avocado slices, and radish slices.
- Serve immediately with extra lime wedges on the side.
