Flat Iron Steak Tacos with Guacamole


 

My boyfriend and I love Mexican food and when I say we love it, I mean we really freakin’ LOVE it. I’m always trying to find new variations instead of just the plain old burrito or taco and these tacos definitely hit the spot. This recipe makes about eight tacos total, so depending on how hungry you are it’ll feed four people or maybe just a big meal for one.

Ingredients:
  • 1 1lb flat iron steak
  • Cumin
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Juice of ½ lime
  • 1 tsp. garlic
  • 1 small package pre-shredded red cabbage
  • 2 cups shredded cheese
  • 2 cups guacamole (recipe below)
  • Green salsa (I just used store bought to save time)
  • 8 corn tortillas
Directions:
  • Set oven to broil with rack 4 inches below the broiler.
  • Mix cabbage, lime juice, and garlic in a medium bowl then season with salt and pepper. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes.
  • Season flat iron steak with salt, pepper and cumin. Place under broiler for 7-8 minutes for medium rare, remove from oven and cover loosely with foil to rest.
  • Heat corn tortillas in a damp paper towel in the microwave for about 1 minute until hot. 
  • After steak has rested about 10 minutes, cut into strips and then bite sized pieces.
  • To assemble place steak then guacamole then cabbage mix then cheese, top with green salsa.
