Chipotle-Lime Flank Steak Street Tacos

These Flank Steak Street Tacos are perfect for your next taco Tuesday! Topped with a fresh pico de gallo that puts these babies over the top!

I wish everyday was taco day, I mean I love them that much! These Chipotle-Lime Flank Steak Street Tacos are so easy and full of flavor. Marinated in lime juice, garlic, Chipotle and cilantro seared on a super hot skillet or grill. YUM!

Flank steak cooks super fast on a hot grill or skillet. Slicing with a sharp knife it at an angle against the grain helps ensure that it will be the most tender.

Tacos are super versatile and this marinade can be used for chicken if you’re not a fan of red meat.

Flank steak or skirt steak are both fantastic for tacos and best when cooked to medium rare. Topping them off with a fresh pico de gallo and guacamole or sour cream just puts these babies over the top.
