Ingredients
- Grated zest and juice of 1 lime, plus wedges for serving
- 1 tablespoon ancho chile powder
- 5 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon spicy honey
- 1 flank steak (about 1 1/4 pounds), halved lengthwise
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 cups fresh cilantro, plus more for topping
- 2 scallions, roughly chopped
- 2 bell peppers (red, yellow and/or orange), thinly sliced
- 4 radishes, thinly sliced
- 12 corn tortillas
- 1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco cheese
Instructions
- Preheat a grill to medium high. Combine the lime zest, chile powder, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and 2 teaspoons honey in a small bowl. Rub all over the steak; season with salt and a few grinds of pepper. Let marinate at room temperature, 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, pulse the cilantro, scallions, lime juice, the remaining 1 teaspoon honey and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender until chunky. Slowly add the remaining 1/4 cup vegetable oil and 2 tablespoons water and blend until smooth. Pour half the dressing into a large bowl (reserve the rest for topping). Add the bell peppers and radishes to the bowl with the dressing and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
- Grill the steak until well marked, 4 to 6 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes. Warm the tortillas as the label directs. Thinly slice the steak. Serve on the tortillas and top with the queso fresco, reserved dressing and more cilantro. Serve with the bell pepper salad and lime wedges.

These are some of the best tacos I have ever had they are absolutely amazing. This recipe is pretty flawless you must try it you will be amazed at the flavors in such little time. You can also cook the steak in a cast iron skillet if you want to. These are perfect weeknight dinner dish the longer you marinate the meat the better it is. I would definitely recommend this to anyone because it is great for the whole family
