CHILI LIME STEAK TACOS RECIPE BY TASTY



Chili Lime Steak Tacos Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: top sirloin steak, pico de gallo, corn tortillas, ripe avocado, fresh cilantro, lime juice, water, salt, chili powder, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, garlic, lime juice

Provided by Joey Firoben

Categories     Dinner

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

½ lb top sirloin steak
pico de gallo, or salsa of your choice
4 corn tortillas
1 ripe avocado
⅓ cup fresh cilantro
3 tablespoons lime juice
⅔ cup water
salt, to taste
1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons lime juice, or 1 lime

Steps:

  • Place the avocado, cilantro, lime juice, water, and salt in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, garlic, and lime juice.
  • Rub the chili lime rub all over the steak in a thin, even layer.
  • Grill the steak on either a grill or stove-top grill pan. To get the "X" grill marks, sear the steak for 1 minute, then adjust about 90 degrees and grill for another minute. Flip the steak when you've achieved desired grill marks and repeat the process on the other side.
  • Allow the steak to rest for 5-10 minutes once taken off the heat.
  • Slice the steak thinly, against the grain of the meat.
  • Prepare the tacos by topping the corn tortillas with a few strips of meat, salsa, the avocado cilantro lime sauce, and cilantro, and serve.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of meat. Skirt steak is a good choice for tacos because it's flavorful and relatively inexpensive. Flank steak can also be used, but it's a bit tougher.
  • Marinate the meat. Marinating the skirt steak in a mixture of chili powder, cumin, garlic, and lime juice will help to tenderize it and add flavor.
  • Cook the steak over high heat. This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the steak while keeping the inside juicy.
  • Let the steak rest before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve the tacos with your favorite toppings. Some good options include salsa, guacamole, sour cream, cheese, and lettuce.

Conclusion:

Chili Rubbed Skirt Steak Tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. The steak is flavorful and tender, and the tacos are packed with fresh and flavorful ingredients. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a fun and festive party dish, these tacos are sure to be a hit.
