Ingredients:

• 1.5 lbs flank steak
• 2 tablespoons chipotle chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 8 small corn tortillas
• 1 cup shredded cabbage
• 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
• 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional)
• Lime wedges for serving

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, mix chipotle chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, lime juice, and olive oil to create a marinade.
2. Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
3. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and grill for about 6-8 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.
4. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing it against the grain into thin strips.
5. Warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side.
6. Assemble the tacos by placing sliced carne asada on each tortilla, topping with shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes, avocado slices, and chopped cilantro.
7. Drizzle with sour cream or Greek yogurt if desired and serve with lime wedges.
