Ingredients

  • Lime
  • 2 Radishes
  • 4 Cilantro Sprigs
  • 2 Green Onions
  • 2 Garlic Cloves
  • 2 Flat Iron Steaks
  • 6 oz Slaw Mix
  • 1 1/2 tsp Sugar
  • 3 oz Sour Cream
  • 1/4 tsp Chipotle Powder
  • 6 Corn Tortillas

Directions

  1. Throughly rinse produce and pat dry. Halve lime. Slice radishes into thin rounds. Stem and roughly chop cilantro. Thinly slice green onions on a bias (45 degree angle). Mince garlic. Rinse the steaks and pat dry.

  2. In a mixing bowl, combine slaw mix, ⅔ of the green onions (reserving remaining for garnish), cilantro, garlic to taste, sugar, juice of the lime to taste, and 1 tsp. olive oil. Mix thoroughly. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside in refrigerator to chill until ready to serve.

  3. In a small dish, combine sour cream, chipotle powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth. Set aside crema in refrigerator to chill until ready to serve.

  4. In a medium pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 tsp. olive oil. Season each side of the steak with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add steaks to pan and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees. Remove from pan, allow to rest for 5 minutes, and cut into ¼" thick slices. Stack and wrap tortillas in a moist paper towel and microwave for 20 seconds to warm.

  5. Place 3 tortillas on a plate. Add steak slices to tortillas. Add slaw atop steak, or serve on the side. Add a dollop of crema atop the tacos. Garnish with radish slices and remaining green onions.
