Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs beef or chicken, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon cumin
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup lime juice
• 12 flour tortillas
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 1/2 cup chopped onions
• 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup guacamole
• 1/4 cup hot sauce

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Mix well.
2. Add the sliced meat to the bowl and toss until evenly coated in the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 20 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator for maximum flavor.
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the marinated meat from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature.
4. Grill the meat for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
5. Warm the flour tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are soft and pliable.
6. Assemble the tacos by placing a few slices of grilled meat onto each tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, chopped onions, and cilantro. Serve with sour cream, guacamole, and hot sauce on the side.
7. Enjoy your delicious Tailgate Tacos!
