  3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Remove steak from marinade and discard marinade.
  4. Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until cooked to your desired level of doneness.

  6. Warm the corn tortillas.
  7. Fill each tortilla with sliced carne asada, cilantro, and onion.
  8. Serve immediately with lime wedges.

Notes

For extra flavor, try adding a dollop of guacamole or your favorite salsa to the tacos. You can also use skirt steak or sirloin steak as alternatives to flank steak.
