Ingredients
 

For the steak marinade:

  • 2 lbs. flank steak
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 jalapeno (minced)
  • 1 handful cilantro (chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • Juice of 1 orange
  • 1/4 cup olive oil

For the pico de gallo:

  • 4 tomatoes (chopped)
  • 1/2 small red onion (chopped)
  • 1 jalapeno (chopped (I remove half the seeds to keep the heat at medium))
  • 1 large handful cilantro (chopped)
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

For the tacos:

  • 8 flour tortillas
  • Shredded jack cheese
  • Sliced avocado
  • Lime wedges

Instructions

For the marinade:

  • Add all of the ingredients to a jam or jelly jar with a tightly sealing lid. Seal then shake until well combined. Place the steak in a large ziplock bag or casserole dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, then seal or cover and allow to marinate for 2-8 hours.

For the pico:

  • In the meantime, prepare the pico de gallo. Mix together all ingredients in a medium sized bowl. The pico can be serve fresh, but is best if refrigerated for a few hours to let the flavors meld together.

For the tacos:

  • Preheat a grill to medium high heat. Lightly oil the grates to keep the steak from sticking. Remove the steak from the marinade and place it on the grill. Grill for 7-9 minutes a side, flipping once. This will yield a medium cooked steak. I don't recommend cooking flank steak above medium. Remove the steak from the grill and allow it to rest for five minutes before slicing thinly across the grain.
  • If desired, toss the tortillas on the grill for a few seconds to warm and char them slightly. To serve, place steak in the tacos then top with cheese, avocado, pico, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Eat immediately.

Notes

  • You can always use gluten-free tortillas if desired.
