Easy Steak Tacos with Avocado Salsa

Delicious and simple, that's what I like about this dish. Unfortunately, I have a stove from like the 1970's, so I broiled the steak, otherwise an outdoor grill or grill pan would've added some flavor. I hope you enjoy!
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 medium limes)
  • 1 (1 lb.) skirt steak, trimmed
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground red pepper
  • 1 cup diced, seeded plum tomato
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 3 tbsp finely chopped fresh cilantro (or 1 tsp cilantro flakes)
  • 1 tbsp diced seeded jalapeno pepper
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 3/4 cup diced avocado (about 1 medium)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 8 corn tortillas
  1. Combine 1/4 cup juice and steak in a shallow dish. Sprinkle cumin, 1/2 tsp salt, and red pepper over both sides of steak. Cover and marinate in refrigerator for 3 hours.
  2. Heat grill pan or grill over high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add steak to pan and cook 3 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Let stand at least 10 minutes. Cut steak into 1/2 inch pieces.
  3. Combine tomato and next 5 ingredients (through garlic) in a bowl. Gently stir in avocado and 1/4 tsp salt.
  4. Heat tortillas in microwave, and serve.
