Sour cream and guacamole also make tasty toppings for these steak tacos.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

These steak tacos with avocado salsa will elevate taco night. The simple lime and cumin marinade add tons of flavor to the broiled steak. Avocado salsa is simple but flavorful and delicious on top of the steak slices. We sprinkled the tacos with cilantro for a pop of freshness.

How To Make steak tacos with avocado salsa

Test Kitchen Tips
For a medium-rare steak, we broiled it for 5 minutes on each side.
  • Juice limes.
    1
    For the steak, squeeze limes into a measuring cup and reserve 1 Tbsp lime juice for the salsa.
  • Lime juice, seasonings, and beef in a resealable plastic bag.
    2
    In a resealable storage plastic bag, mix the remaining lime juice (about 1/4 c), cumin, salt, pepper, and garlic. Add beef. Seal the bag and turn to coat the beef. Refrigerate for 1 hour to marinate. Turn occasionally.
  • Chopped tomatoes, onion, avocado, lime juice, and salt in a bowl.
    3
    For the avocado salsa, in a medium bowl mix tomatoes, onion, avocado, reserved 1 Tbsp lime juice, and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Toss to coat.
  • Steak removed from the marinade.
    4
    Set oven control to broil. Remove beef from the marinade; discard marinade. Place beef on rack in broiler pan.
  • Broil the steak.
    5
    Broil with top 4 to 6 inches from heat for 10 to 15 minutes or until the desired doneness; turning once.
  • Broiled steak resting.
    6
    Let stand for 5 minutes.
  • Thinly slice the steak.
    7
    Cut diagonally across the grain into very thin slices.
  • Warm tortillas.
    8
    Warm tortillas as directed on the package.
  • Add steak and salsa to the warmed tortillas.
    9
    Divide steak strips among the tortillas. Top each with about 1/4 c of avocado salsa.
