• 8 pieces corn tortillas, warmed
• 1 cup chopped cilantro
• 1 medium white onion, chopped
• 2 tablespoons lime juice, freshly squeezed

• 1 cup olive oil
• 3 tablespoons lime juice, freshly squeezed
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder

Method

1. 01
   In a bowl, mix together olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
2. 02
   Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours.
3. 03
   While the steak marinates, prepare the guacamole by mashing the avocados in a bowl. Stir in diced tomato, lime juice, chopped cilantro, and salt. Adjust seasoning to taste.
4. 04
   Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and grill for 5-7 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached.
5. 05
   Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice it thinly across the grain.
6. 06
   Warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side or until pliable.
7. 07
   Assemble the tacos by placing slices of steak on each tortilla. Top with chopped onion, cilantro, and a dollop of guacamole. Drizzle with lime juice if desired.
8. 08
   Serve immediately with extra lime wedges on the side.
