Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Marinade:

  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Tacos:

  • 1 lb steak, thinly sliced
  • 1 onion, sliced

  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Meat: In a bowl, combine lime juice, garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Add the sliced steak, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Cook the Meat: In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the marinated steak until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
