Ingredients

  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 small flour or corn tortillas
  • 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 lime cut into wedges
  • 1 cup diced onions
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes

  3. Prepare the Tortillas: While the steak rests, warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave until pliable.
  4. Assemble Tacos: Slice the steak into thin strips and place in each tortilla. Top with diced onions, tomatoes, avocado, and chopped cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
