Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Season the 1 lb flank steak with salt and pepper. Heat a grill or grill pan over high heat until smoking, about 3 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, until nicely charred and internal temperature reaches 130°F. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.

  3. Step 3

    While the steak rests, thinly slice the 1 red onion and toss with the juice of 1 lime and a pinch of salt. Let sit for 5 minutes to quick-pickle.

  4. Step 4

    Warm the 8 corn tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side, until soft and lightly charred.

  5. Step 5

    Fill each tortilla with sliced steak, pickled onions, a dollop of the 0.5 cup sour cream, and a spoonful of the 0.5 cup salsa. Serve with the remaining lime cut into wedges.
