Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb grass fed flank steak
  • 3-4 limes
  • 1 can pinto beans
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 avocado
  • 1 handful cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup pico de gallo (I used premade)
  • 1/4 small red onion, diced
  • tortillas of choice (we used Siete Foods brand)
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • sea salt and ground pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Add grass-fed flank steak to a large bowl with juice of 2-3 limes, zest of one lime, and the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika and garlic powder. Let marinate on the counter for 30 minutes.
  • While steak marinates, start cooking the beans. Add the whole can of pinto beans (including liquid) to a pot with some water (~1/4 cup), minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, pepper and lime juice and cook over medium heat. As the beans soften, mash them up a bit with a fork and continued to cook until most of the liquid is absorbed to your preference.
  • When steak is done marinating, heat avocado oil in a cast iron skillet. Once hot, add flank steak and sear for ~2 min on both sides before throwing in the oven at 350F for 5 min to finish cooking. Remove from oven, let it sit for 1-2 min, then slice into thin strips.
  • Serve the steak in tortillas and top with diced red onion, diced avocado, chopped cherry tomatoes, and pico de gallo. Serve with a side of refried beans. We added in a simple, big salad of butter lettuce, shredded carrots and diced red onion to round out the meal!
