Ingredients
  

1 lb flank steak

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

8 small corn tortillas

1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1/2 cup red onion, diced

1 lime, cut into wedges

Optional toppings: sliced avocado, salsa, crumbled queso fresco

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.

    Marinate the Steak: Place the flank steak in a resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight for more flavor).

      Cook the Steak: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, letting excess marinade drip off. Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare (adjust cooking time based on your preferred doneness). Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

        Slice the Steak: Cut the rested steak against the grain into thin strips.

          Warm the Tortillas: While the steak is resting, warm the corn tortillas on a skillet or grill for about 30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable.

            Assemble the Tacos: Place a few strips of sliced steak onto each tortilla. Top with chopped cilantro, diced red onion, and any additional toppings you desire, such as sliced avocado, salsa, or crumbled queso fresco.

              Serve: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos for extra flavor and enjoy immediately!
