Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
¼ cup olive oil
1 jalapeño pepper, diced
Tbsp Better Than Bouillon® Roasted Beef Base
2 tsp ground cumin
1 lb flank steak
12 small corn tortillas, warmed
1 avocado, peeled, halved, pitted and diced
½ cup diced red onion
½ cup packed cilantro leaves
Lime wedges, for serving

Directions

  • 1

    In large bowl, whisk together lime juice, oil, jalapeño, Roasted Beef Base and cumin. Toss steak with marinade and let stand in refrigerator for 15 minutes and up to 4 hours.

  • 2

    Preheat grill to medium-high heat; grease grates well.

  • 3

    Remove steak from marinade and shake off excess (discard marinade). Grill, turning once, for 8 to 12 minutes for medium-rare or until instant-read thermometer registers 130°F when inserted into thickest part of steak. (Alternatively, grill to preferred doneness.) Let steak rest, covered loosely with foil, for at least 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.

  • 4

    Arrange sliced steak in tortillas with avocado, onion and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.

Tip: For loaded tacos al carbon, serve with crumbled queso cheese, pico de gallo and shredded lettuce.
