Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb flank steak
- 2 ears corn on the cob
- 8 small corn tortillas
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/2 cup crumbled Cotija cheese
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt)
- 1 tsp chili lime seasoning
Instructions
- Marinate the steak by whisking together lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Place the flank steak in a resealable bag with the marinade and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Prep the corn by husking it and soaking it in water for about 10 minutes.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (400°F). Grill the soaked corn while placing the marinated steak directly over high heat.
- Grill the flank steak for about 6 minutes per side until desired doneness is reached. Rotate the corn until charred all around.
- Allow the steak to rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain. Cut kernels off the cooled corn.
- Warm tortillas on the grill or stovetop, then assemble tacos with sliced steak, grilled corn kernels, Cotija cheese, and drizzle with creamy chili-lime sauce.
