Method
Prep Your Oven and Pan
- Position your top oven rack in the second slot from the top and preheat the broiler to high. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Meanwhile, place your 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Prepare the Crema
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, and 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning until smooth. Set aside.
Start the Tacos
- Place your flank steak on the prepared baking sheet. Brush both sides evenly with olive oil. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning over one side, then season generously with sea salt. Flip the steak and repeat with the remaining tablespoon of seasoning and more salt.
- Slide the steak under the broiler for 5-7 minutes, flipping once at the halfway mark. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130-135°F.
- While the steak broils, add two corn tortillas to your hot cast iron skillet. Let them warm for 30 seconds to a minute until they develop some color, then flip and repeat. Transfer to aluminum foil and continue with the remaining tortillas, wrapping them to keep warm.
- When your steak is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. After resting, slice the steak against the grain into thin strips. Transfer to a medium bowl and toss with the fresh lime juice.
- Stack two tortillas together. Add a generous portion of the seasoned steak, then pile on your favorite toppings. Finish with a dollop of the seasoned crema and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
Notes
Make Your Own Seasoning: This recipe uses my homemade taco seasoning blend, which is way more flavorful than store-bought and takes just minutes to make. If you’re short on time, feel free to substitute 3 tablespoons of your favorite store-bought taco seasoning.
