Adobo Lime Steak Tacos

This refreshing steak taco is best topped with guacamole, sour cream, and salsa verde. Paired with a good Mexican beer, it will make your evening. I prefer soft tortillas, but you can use hard tacos if you like.

Ingredients

• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons minced garlic
• 1 bunch cilantro, chopped
• 2 teaspoons adobo seasoning
• 1 (7 ounce) can salsa verde
• 1 pound flat iron steak, or to taste
• 2 limes, cut into wedges, divided
• 1 (8 ounce) package small soft tortillas

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Season the steak all over with adobo seasoning. Squeeze 1 lime half onto the steak and rub garlic all over it. Place on a dish and refrigerate, at least 30 minutes.

Step 3

Heat oil in an ovenproof pan over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook until a crust forms, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook until crusty on the other side, about 5 minutes more.

Step 4

Bake steak in the preheated oven until tender, about 30 minutes. Allow steak to cool, about 15 minutes. Slice against the grain.

Step 5

Place tortillas on a plate and cover with a damp paper towel. Heat in the microwave until fluffy and warm, about 1 minute.

Step 6

Place a portion of steak slices on a tortilla, top with sliced onion and cilantro. Squeeze remaining lime juice on top and add some salsa verde. Repeat with remaining tortillas, steak, onion, and cilantro.
