Ingredients

1/4 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 cloves garlic finely minced
2 teaspoons adobo sauce*
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 to 1.5 lb flank steak
8 (6-inch) tortillas
Optional toppings: fresh cilantro, diced red onion, avocado, queso fresco, lime wedges, etc.

Instructions

In a ziplock bag or shallow dish, combine the orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, adobo sauce, salt, cumin, chili powder, and paprika.
1/4 cup orange juice, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 cloves garlic, 2 teaspoons adobo sauce*, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Add the flank steak, seal the bag, and turn over a few times to make sure the steak is coated with the marinade.

Place the bag in a dish and refrigerate for 6-8 hours.
When ready to cook, preheat a grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the bag and shake off any excess marinade. Place the steak on the grill. Grill for about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare.
Remove from the grill and let the steak sit for 5 minutes.
Slice the steak into thin pieces.
To assemble the tacos, place a few slices of steak on each tortilla. Top with any desired toppings. (Our favorites are avocado, fresh cilantro, red onion, and queso fresco.)

Notes

*Adobo sauce is the sauce that comes in the can with chipotle chili peppers. If you don’t have any adobo sauce, you can skip it, but it adds great smoky flavor.
