Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ lbs flank or skirt steak
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 12 small corn tortillas

Instructions
- Marinate the Steak: Whisk together olive oil, lime juice, cilantro, garlic, cumin, chili powder, black pepper, and salt. Place the steak in a resealable bag with the marinade. Seal and refrigerate for 2-4 hours (or overnight for best flavor).
- Cook the Steak: Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Remove steak from marinade; cook for 3-5 minutes per side until desired doneness is reached. Let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.

- Assemble Tacos: Fill each tortilla with sliced steak and top with onions and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges and your favorite toppings.
