These 25-minute steak tacos are made with juicy spice-rubbed steak, a savory sour cream sauce, and all your favorite toppings. Fast, easy, and perfect for weeknights!
Whisk together the chili powder, kosher salt, smoked paprika, granulated garlic and onion, cumin, ground coriander, and dried oregano. Season the steaks on both sides with the mix.
Add the avocado oil to a cast iron skillet and slowly let it heat up. The skillet needs to be VERY HOT in order to achieve a nice sear and crust on the steaks.
Carefully, place the steaks into the hot cast iron and cook them according to your preference. If needed, a meat thermometer will take the guess work out of the internal temperature of the meat.
When you have achieved your desired level of doneness, remove the steaks and let them rest for at least 10 minutes. Slice and set aside
The Sour Cream Sauce
Mix the mayo and sour cream together along with the juice and zest of a lime. Whisk in the granulated garlic and onion, coriander, and cumin into the mix. Add kosher salt and pepper to taste.
Assembly
To assemble, grab a tortilla. Start with a healthy slather of the sour cream sauce followed by a few slices of the steak. Top with pickled onions, sliced jalapeño, fresh cilantro, and a little cotija cheese.
