Ingredients

1.5 pounds flank steak
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons adobo sauce (from a can of chipotle peppers in adobo)
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
8 small flour tortillas
1 cup diced tomatoes
1 cup shredded lettuce
1/2 cup diced avocado
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
lime wedges, for serving

Directions

In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, adobo sauce, lime juice, olive oil, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
Place the flank steak in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steak, making sure it's evenly coated. Cover or seal the dish/bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off.
Grill the steak for about 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
While the steak is resting, warm the flour tortillas on the grill or stovetop until they are soft and pliable.
Slice the steak thinly against the grain, then assemble the tacos by placing a few slices of steak on each tortilla. Top with diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, diced avocado, and chopped cilantro.
Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the toppings. Enjoy!
