If you like to make tacos on Taco Tuesday, I have a good recipe for you to try! And if it’s Wednesday or Saturday or any other day of the week, these tacos will be good on those days too. This is a grilling recipe, so it’s time to dust off the outdoor grill. Or get out your grill pan and plan to cook your steak on the stove. These steak tacos have plenty of delicious veggies stuffed inside, and you get to choose your favorite fixings to add in there too.
How to make the flank steak for Flank Steak Tacos:
Your flank steak is marinated for an hour or more with a very simple spice rub. Then it’s grilled until your desired level of doneness (that should take about 8 to 10 minutes). While your steak is grilling, take that time to get the vegetables, fixings and tortillas ready. Letting the steak rest for 10 minutes after it comes off the grill allows it to finish cooking as it sits on your counter. The important thing about cutting flank steak is that you want to cut it AGAINST the grain. Cut it into thin slices, and it’s ready for adding to your tacos.
How to make the stir-fried vegetables:
I make them sort of “fajita-style” so the veggies are cooked instead of raw. A simply stir-fry of onions, bell peppers and jalapeño. You can do this on the stove, or if you have a grill basket, you can prepare the veggies on the grill instead. If you prefer, you can skip the stir-fry and load up the tacos more classic-style with shredded lettuce, tomato and cheese.
About the tortillas:
My tortillas of choice for Flank Steak Tacos are the Mission brand carb-balance taco-sized tortillas. You can use flour tortillas. You can fry corn tortillas and use those. And the little street tacos would be good to use too. It’s completely up to you and your preference.
Suggested fixings for Flank Steak Tacos:
shredded cheese- try sharp cheddar or a blend of cheddar and Jack cheeses avocado or guacamole chopped fresh tomato chopped fresh cilantro sour cream salsa or taco sauce
Happy Taco Tuesday! Or Friday! Or… you get the idea. Enjoy 🙂
