Ingredients

For the Taco Seasoning

  • 2 Tbsp chili powder
  • 1 Tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • ½ tsp ground white pepper
  • ¼ - ½ tsp cayenne pepper

For the Tacos

  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 3 Tbsp taco seasoning divided
  • 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • lbs 560g flank or skirt steak
  • Sea salt to taste
  • 16 mini corn tortillas 4.5”/12cm diameter
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
  • Lime wedges to serve

Suggested Toppings

  • Sliced radishes
  • Cojita cheese
  • Diced avocado
  • Chopped cilantro
  • Pico de Gallo
  • Salsa
  • Guacamole

Instructions

  • Prepare the taco seasoning by combining all ingredients in a small bowl. Stir to combine and set aside.


  • Preheat broiler/grill to “High.” Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and set it aside.
  • Place a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, and one tablespoon taco seasoning together in a medium bowl and set aside.


    Taco Sauce
  • Place the flank steak on the prepared baking sheet and evenly brush the olive oil over both sides. Evenly sprinkle one tablespoon taco seasoning over the steak. Generously season with sea salt before turning. Repeat on the other side with the remaining taco seasoning and a little more salt.
  • Place the steak under the broiler/grill for 5-7 minutes, turning once halfway through, or until it reaches the desired level of doneness.
  • While the steak is cooking, add two corn tortillas to the hot skillet. Heat until they are warmed through and develop a bit of color, approximately 30 seconds to one minute. Flip with tongs and repeat on the remaining side. Transfer the warmed tortillas to a large sheet of aluminum foil (or a tortilla warmer, if you have one). Repeat with the remaining tortillas. Wrap the tortillas in the aluminum foil while working on the rest to keep warm.
  • When ready, remove the steak from the broiler/grill and let rest for 5 minutes before cutting against the grain into thin slices. Transfer the steak to a medium bowl and toss with the fresh lime juice. Set aside.
  • .To serve, layer two tortillas together, as shown, and add some of the seasoned steak and your choice of toppings. Top each taco with a dollop of the seasoned sour cream mixture and serve immediately with additional lime wedges on the side. Enjoy!

Notes

For best results, broil the steak whole and slice against the grain into thin pieces after resting for 5 minutes. This will ensure each bite is tender and juicy.
