Time 2h32m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 small bunch fresh cilantro, leaves picked
1/2 medium yellow onion
Juice of 1 1/2 limes
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
4 ounces sour cream
1 large chipotle pepper in adobo, finely diced, plus 1 tablespoon adobo sauce
Mixed greens
6 small fajita-size flour tortillas, warmed
1 pound skirt or flank steak
7 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup, plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup, plus 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • For the chimichurri: While the steak rests, place the cilantro leaves, onion, remaining 4 cloves garlic, juice of 1 lime, and remaining 1/3 cup vinegar to a blender and puree until combined. With the blender on low speed, drizzle in the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil in a slow stream. Remove the sauce from the blender and stir in the red pepper flakes and salt, to taste.
  • For the chipotle cream: Combine the sour cream, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, juice of 1/2 lime, and pinch of salt.
  • Place the steak, 3 cloves garlic, 2 tablespoons each olive oil and vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and Dijon mustard in a resealable bag. Rub the ingredients into the meat and place in the refrigerator to marinate for 2 hours.
  • After 2 hours, remove the meat from the bag and pat dry to remove any excess moisture. Lightly season both sides with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Spray an indoor, stovetop grill with nonstick cooking spray and preheat on medium-high heat. Place the steak on the preheated grill and grill about 6 minutes on each side for medium rare. After grilling the steak, cover with tented foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes, before thinly slicing across the grain.
  • To serve, top each warm tortilla with some mixed greens and sliced steak. Drizzle with the chimichurri and chipotle cream.
  • Servings: 4 to 6 tacos

I'm not a big fan of steak tacos, but these were actually really good. The steak was tender and flavorful, and the sauces were delicious. I would definitely make these again.

These tacos were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would have preferred to grill the steak instead of pan-frying it.

The steak tacos were good, but the sauces were a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less chipotle pepper in the chipotle cream sauce and less garlic in the chimichurri sauce.

These tacos were amazing! I used flank steak and it was so tender and flavorful. The sauces were also delicious and really brought the dish together. I will definitely be making these again.
