Ingredients
- 6 6-inch white corn tortillas (you can sub yellow corn if you can't find white corn)
- 1 pound skirt steak trimmed of fat and sliced into thin strips
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon oil
- 1 cup diced onion
- ½ cup cilantro leaves roughly chopped
- 2 cups thinly sliced red cabbage
Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette
- ¾ cup cilantro leaves
- Juice of 2 limes
- ⅓ cup oil
- 4 teaspoons minced garlic
- ¼ cup white vinegar
- 4 teaspoons sugar
- ¼ cup milk
- ½ cup sour cream
Instructions
- Heat oil over medium heat. Season sliced steak with salt, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder. Add steak to pan and sauté until cooked through (about 8-10 minutes). Add garlic and sauté 1-2 minutes longer until garlic is fragrant. Remove from heat and dice steak.
- Whisk together all ingredients for vinaigrette. Add mixture to a blender and pulse 1-2 minutes until smooth. Add 1/4-1/3 cup steak to each tortilla (hot tip: if you microwave them for 30-45 seconds they'll be easier to handle and super delicious!) top steak with cabbage, onions, and chopped cilantro. Drizzle with vinaigrette and serve immediately.
