Number Of Ingredients 14

20 ounces top sirloin steaks
1/4 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
10 8-inch flour tortillas
2 1/2 cups shredded lettuce
1 1/4 cups finely shredded cheddar cheese
3/4 cup sour cream
2 small tomatoes, finely chopped
1 (8 ounce) bottle taco sauce

Steps:

  • Mix together ingredients for marinade in a small bowl.
  • Place steak in a dish or plastic bag and pour marinade over it and refrigerate for several hours, or overnight.
  • Bring steak out of refrigerator 1 hour before cooking.
  • Prepare grill or broiler.
  • Drain the meat, saving the marinade.
  • Grill meat 3-4 minutes per side (for med-rare), basting occasionally with marinade, or cook longer if desired.
  • Slice meat thinly and set aside.
  • Wrap tortillas in a towel and warm in a microwave; or if desired, warm briefly in a skillet and then wrap in a towel to keep warm.
  • To assemble taco, place approximately 2 ounces of meat, 1/4 cup lettuce, 2 tbsp cheese, 1 tbsp sour cream, a small amount of tomatoes and some taco sauce on each tortilla.
  • Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect grilled steak, choose a thick cut of meat, at least 1 inch thick. This will help to ensure that the steak is cooked evenly and remains juicy.
  • Before grilling, marinate the steak in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices. This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • When grilling the steak, cook it over medium-high heat until it reaches your desired level of doneness. For a medium-rare steak, cook for 5-7 minutes per side. For a medium steak, cook for 7-9 minutes per side. And for a well-done steak, cook for 9-11 minutes per side.
  • Once the steak is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it. This will help to keep the juices in the meat.
  • For the soft tacos, use fresh corn tortillas and warm them up before filling them. This will help to prevent the tortillas from cracking.
  • Fill the tacos with your favorite toppings, such as grilled steak, guacamole, salsa, sour cream, and cheese.
