Preparation

- In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, garlic, and lime juice.
- Rub the chili lime rub all over the steak in a thin, even layer.
- Grill the steak on either a grill or stove-top grill pan. To get the “X” grill marks, sear the steak for 1 minute, then adjust about 90 degrees and grill for another minute. Flip the steak when you’ve achieved desired grill marks and repeat the process on the other side.
- Allow the steak to rest for 5-10 minutes once taken off the heat.
- Slice the steak thinly, against the grain of the meat.
- Prepare the tacos by topping the corn tortillas with a few strips of meat, salsa, the avocado cilantro lime sauce, and cilantro, and serve.
- Enjoy!
