Flank Steak Tacos with Avocado Crema & Chimichurri
Ingredients
Directions
Combine the cayenne, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, 1 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle this mixture on both sides of the flank steak.
Heat a large pan or a flat top. Add 2 tbsp olive oil and gently sear both sides of the flank steak. Let rest for 5 minutes, and then cut on a bias.
In a blender, add the sour cream, avocado, lime juice, a pinch of salt, and one bunch of cilantro leaves, and puree until smooth.
To make the pickles onions take a saucepan and heat the sugar with 1 tbsp salt, water, 1 tsp chili flakes, and 1 cup vinegar. Bring to a gentle boil until the sugar dissolves. Pour this liquid over the onions and let sit for 4 hours or overnight.
To make the chimichurri, place one bunch of cilantro, parsley, remaining chili flakes, oregano, olive oil, garlic cloves, shallot, and a large pinch of salt into a food processor, and mix until well combined.
To assemble, take your tortillas and place the avocado cream on the bottom. Add the pickled onion, flank steak, cilantro leaves & cotija cheese. Garnish with a lime wedge for an extra kick. Enjoy!
