Step-by-Step Instructions

1
In a large resealable plastic bag, combine lime juice, olive oil, garlic, and cumin. Add the flank steak, turning to coat evenly. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
2
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, letting any excess liquid drip off. Grill the steak for 5-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
3
Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.
4
Warm the tortillas by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 20-30 seconds. Assemble the tacos by placing a few slices of steak onto a tortilla, followed by a sprinkle of cilantro, onion, and queso fresco.
