Ingredients

• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 lb flank steak
• 2 nectarines, diced
• 1/2 cup red onion, diced
• 1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 jalapeño, minced (optional)
• Juice of 1 lime
• Pinch of salt
• 8 small flour or corn tortillas

Directions

1. In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Place 1 pound of flank steak in a resealable bag, pour the marinade over it, seal, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
2. While the steak is marinating, prepare the salsa. In a medium bowl, combine 2 diced nectarines, 1/2 cup diced red onion, 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 1 minced jalapeño (optional for heat), the juice of 1 lime, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently to mix and set aside to let the flavors meld.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer it more well done. Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
4. While the steak rests, warm 8 small flour or corn tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet over medium heat, about 30 seconds on each side, until soft and pliable. Keep the tortillas warm by wrapping them in a clean kitchen towel.
5. Place a few slices of grilled steak on each tortilla, then top with a generous spoonful of nectarine salsa. Garnish with extra cilantro and a squeeze of lime if desired.
6. Serve the tacos immediately, with your favorite side dish or a refreshing beverage. These tacos are sure to be a hit with their vibrant flavors and juicy steak!
