Ingredients

For the “noodles”

• 1 lb flank steak or skirt steak
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 1 tbsp orange juice
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp chilli powder
• Salt and pepper, to taste

• Toppings: Chopped cilantro, diced onion, lime wedges, salsa, avocado, and hot sauce

Instructions

Prep the cabbage

1. In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic, lime juice, orange juice, cumin, and chilli powder. Season with salt and pepper. Marinate the steak in the mixture for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for more flavour).
2. Grill the steak over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.
3. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes, then slice it thinly against the grain.
4. Warm the tortillas and fill them with the grilled steak. Add your favourite toppings like cilantro, onion, avocado, salsa, and a squeeze of lime. Enjoy your delicious tacos!
