Chipotle Mexican Grill's Steak Tacos (Copycat Recipe)

These steak tacos are a flavorful homage to the classic Chipotle Mexican Grill version, featuring marinated grilled steak, fresh toppings, and warm tortillas. The combination of spices and fresh ingredients creates a satisfying meal that is both hearty and refreshing, perfect for taco night or any casual gathering.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb flank steak
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 8 small corn tortillas
• 1 cup diced onion
• 1 cup chopped cilantro
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 1 avocado, sliced
• Lime wedges for serving

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
2. Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for best flavor.
3. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade.
4. Grill the steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.
5. While the steak is resting, warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
6. Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.
7. Assemble the tacos by placing steak slices on each tortilla and topping with diced onion, chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, and avocado slices.
8. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
