Ingredients :
  • 1 pound flank steak
  • 1 lime juice and zest
  • 1 jalapeno
  • 3 cloves of garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil
  • For the tacos:
  • 10 small flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup sweet white corn , cooked or raw
  • 1/2 cup queso fresco , crumbled
  • 1 jalapeño , seeds removed and thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup pico de gallo
  • For the cilantro avocado sauce:
  • 1 avocado , pitted and peeled
  • 1/4 cup greek yogurt
  • 1 cup roughly chopped cilantro , you can use some stems too!
  • 1 lime , juice
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil or extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tablespoon white wine vinegar , if you don’t have it leaving it out won’t hurt
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
Directions :

  1. Combine the avocado oil, paprika, pepper, sugar, cilantro, garlic, jalapeño, and lime zest in a large bowl. Add the steak and marinate for 30 minutes.

  2. To make the steak in the oven, preheat the broiler on high and cook for 6 minutes for medium rare. Squeeze lime juice from half a lime over the steak and allow it to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

  3. For the cilantro avocado sauce:

  4. Add the avocado, greek yogurt, cilantro, lime, avocado oil, vinegar, and pepper to a food processor or blender. Mix on high for 30-60 seconds or until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy. If you prefer a thinner sauce, mix in water 1 tbsp at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

  5. For the tacos:

  6. Spread a thin layer of avocado sauce on each tortilla. Top with steak, corn, queso fresco, sliced jalapenos, and pico de gallo.
