Servings: 6
Ingredients
Marinated Steak
- 1 ½ lbs flank steak
- 2 tbsp oil avocado or canola
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp chili powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 lime juiced and zested
For the Tacos
- 12 small tortillas corn, low carb, or flour
- ½ red onion sliced
- ½ cup Cotija cheese crumbled
- ½ cup salsa verde
- 1 large or 2 medium avocado, sliced
- Chopped cilantro for garnish optional
Instructions
- Combine the marinade ingredients in a large bowl or gallon ziplock bag. Add the steak and toss to coat. Refrigerate overnight or for at least 8 hours.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees. Remove the flank steak from the marinade and carefully place it in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 15 minutes, then flip and continue to air fry for another 5-7 minutes until done to your liking. 5 minutes will yield more rare meat, and 7 minutes will be more medium-rare.
- Meanwhile, prepare your taco toppings and stack and wrap your corn tortillas inside aluminum foil, making sure the tortillas are completely covered by the foil.
- After the steak is done air frying, transfer the meat to a cutting board and tent with aluminum foil, allowing it to rest for at least 10 minutes. Slice into small pieces for your tacos after rest time.
- While the steak is resting, place the aluminum foil-wrapped tortillas in your air fryer basket and air fry at 400 degrees for 2-3 minutes until warmed.
- Assemble your tacos, garnish with cilantro if desired, and serve!
