Ingredients
2poundsFlank Steak
12Ortega Taco Shells
4ripe Avocados
2packets Ortega Guacamole Seasoning
6Radishesthinly sliced
3Roma Tomatoesdiced
8ouncesMexican cheese such as Queso Fresco or Cojita
Combine all of the marinade ingredients in a bowl.
Prick flank steak all over with a fork and place in a gallon freezer bag or an airtight container.
Pour marinade over the flank steak and place in the refrigerator to marinate for 4 hours or overnight.
When ready, remove flank steak from its container and discard excess marinade.
Heat grill and cook for 10 minutes on each side or until internal temperature reaches 135 degrees F for medium rare (you may cook longer if you prefer your steak more done).
While steak cooks, make your guacamole by smashing the avocados in a bowl and adding your Ortega Guacamole Seasoning Mix. Stir to combine.
Once done, remove steak from the grill and let rest for 15 minutes. Then thinly slice and place into taco shells along with guacamole, radishes, tomatoes, and cheese (or any toppings you like!)
