Description

These Chipotle Steak Tacos are made with tender sirloin steak, warm spices, and of course a generous squeeze of tangy lime juice for the perfect finish. 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 pounds top sirloin steak, cut into small pieces – around 1/2 inch cubes
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin 
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder
  • juice of 1 lime 
  • avocado oil, for cooking

For the Tacos

  • flour tortillas
  • romaine lettuce, thinly sliced
  • pickled red onions
  • pico de Gallo 
  • greek yogurt or sour cream 
  • crumbled cotija 
  • chopped cilantro
  • lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Add the steak cubes, spices, and lime juice to a large mixing bowl and toss until the steak is well coated. Set aside for 30 minutes. 
  2. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Add half of the steak to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, searing on both sides. Remove the seared steak from the pan and repeat with the other half of remaining steak. 
  3. Once the second batch of steak has been cooked, add the other cooked half and any juices back to the skillet. Toss until everything is well combined and then remove the skillet from the heat. 
  4. Assemble the tacos on the tortillas with all of your favorite toppings and enjoy!
