Steps:
- Place the avocado, cilantro, lime juice, water, and salt in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, garlic, and lime juice.
- Rub the chili lime rub all over the steak in a thin, even layer.
- Grill the steak on either a grill or stove-top grill pan. To get the "X" grill marks, sear the steak for 1 minute, then adjust about 90 degrees and grill for another minute. Flip the steak when you've achieved desired grill marks and repeat the process on the other side.
- Allow the steak to rest for 5-10 minutes once taken off the heat.
- Slice the steak thinly, against the grain of the meat.
- Prepare the tacos by topping the corn tortillas with a few strips of meat, salsa, the avocado cilantro lime sauce, and cilantro, and serve.
- Enjoy!

LIME CREMA FOR CHILI, TACOS, FAJITAS AND MORE
This combination of sour cream and lime is to die for (if you like limes lol). I use it instead of plain sour cream in lots of recipes, and have changed it to tangerine, lemon or other citrus fruits as well. 3 recipes on zaar use it, but it deserves its own spot as a condiment in its own right

CHILI-LIME CHICKEN FAJITAS
I like to use my cast-iron skillet for this lime chicken fajitas recipe because it gives the dark sear that flavors the fajitas. If you don't have cast iron, a different pan will work just fine. We go pretty simple with our fajita toppings: lime wedges, cheese and a little sour cream, but you can add anything that you wish. -Ashley Lecker, Green Bay, Wisconsin
