Grilled Steak Tacos

I promised you tacos. And when I promise tacos, I follow through.

These Grilled Steak Tacos are now being referred to as “The Tacos” in my house. In the past month, Boyfriend and I have made them about 234235 times. {Ok, at least 4. I’m an exaggerator. What else is new?}

Boyfriend says that these are the best tacos that he has ever had. I found this statement somewhat humorous at first, given how incredibly easy they are to make. But based on the reactions of everyone who has had them, I think he might just be on to something. Seasoned, perfectly-grilled steak, creamy guacamole, and crunchy Fire-Roasted Corn Salsa, all wrapped up in a charred corn tortilla…

I don’t know why you’re even still reading this. You should be making tacos, already!

Ingredients 

For the steak:

  • 1.5-2 pounds flank or sirloin steak
  • 3 tablespoons homemade taco seasoning
  • Kosher salt

For the guacamole:

  • 3 ripe avocados diced
  • 1/2 red onion finely diced
  • 1 large or 2 small jalapeños seeded and diced
  • 1-2 roma tomatoes diced
  • 1-2 cloves garlic minced
  • Juice of 1-2 limes
  • Kosher salt
  • Cilantro

For the tacos:

  • Corn tortillas
  • Corn salsa
  • Other optional toppings: cheese sour cream, hot sauce, etc.

Instructions

  • Heat your grill to medium heat. While grill is heating, rub the taco seasoning into both sides of the steak. Sprinkle both sides liberally with salt.
  • When grill is hot, place steak on grill, cooking for 3-5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the steak. Remove from grill and allow to rest for about 10 minutes.
  • To make the chunky guacamole, stir together the diced avocados, onion, jalapeños, tomatoes, and garlic, and add lime juice, salt, and cilantro to taste.
  • To char the tortillas, turn a gas stove burner to a medium-high flame. Place the tortilla over the flame (very carefully!), and turn with tongs when the tortilla starts to char, about 30 seconds. Wrap charred tortillas in a clean kitchen towel until ready to serve.
  • To serve the tacos, slice the steak against the grain into 1/4-inch slices. Allow your guests to build their tacos as they so desire!
