Delicious steak tacos filled with charred corn, sweet caramelized onions, and fresh queso, perfect for a weeknight meal or a weekend dinner with friends.
Ingredients
For the taco filling
- 1 lb Steak (flank or sirloin) Seasoned and grilled
- 2 ears Corn on the cob Grilled until charred
- 2 Tbsp Olive oil For cooking
- 1 medium Red onion Sliced for caramelization
- 8 count Tortillas Warm just before serving
- 1 cup Queso fresco Crumble on top
- 1 count Lime Juiced for serving
- 1/2 cup Cilantro Chopped for topping
- 1 tsp Salt To taste
- 1 tsp Pepper To taste
- 1 tsp Chili powder For seasoning the steak
Instructions
Preparation
- Season the steak with salt, pepper, and chili powder, then grill or sear to desired doneness. Let it rest and slice thinly.
- Grill the corn until charred, then cut the kernels off the cob.
- In a skillet, caramelize sliced red onions until golden.
- Warm the tortillas on a skillet or directly on the grill.
Assembly
- Assemble the tacos by layering the steak, corn, caramelized onions, and crumbled queso.
- Top with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice before serving.
Notes
Let the steak rest 5–10 minutes before slicing to keep juices. Char the corn well for a smoky bite. Cook onions low and slow so they turn sweet and soft. Warm tortillas just before serving to keep them flexible.
