Equipment
- 1 grill or grill pan
- 1 Mixing Bowl for corn salsa
- 1 Knife for slicing steak
Ingredients
Steak Marinade
- 1 pound flank steak
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Corn Salsa
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 lime juiced
Wrap Assembly
- 8 flour tortillas
- 1 avocado sliced
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Instructions
Preparation
- In a bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture over the flank steak and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
Cooking
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated steak for 6-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
- Warm the flour tortillas slightly on the grill or in a skillet to make them pliable.
Assembly
- Lay a tortilla flat, spread a dollop of sour cream, add a few slices of grilled steak, top with corn salsa and avocado slices. Roll the tortilla tightly to form a wrap.
- Serve the wraps immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.
Storage
- Wrap any leftover wraps in aluminum foil or plastic wrap and place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
