Ingredients

1 lb flank steak

1 teaspoon chili powder

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)

3 tablespoons olive oil (divided)

2 medium ripe mangoes (peeled, pitted, and diced)

4 green onions (finely chopped)

½ bunch fresh cilantro (chopped)

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice (or more, to taste)

¼ cup Greek yogurt

¼ cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon honey (softened)

1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce

1 medium lime (freshly squeezed)

½ bunch fresh cilantro (finely chopped)

8 corn tortillas (yellow or white)

¼ cup fresh cilantro (chopped)

3 green onions (finely chopped)

Instructions

  1. Season flank steak with chili powder, salt, black pepper, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Set aside.
  2. Make the mango salsa by combining diced mangoes, chopped green onions, cilantro, and lime juice. Set aside.
  3. For the spicy cilantro-lime crema, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, honey, Sriracha, lime juice, and cilantro until smooth. Set aside.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the flank steak for 5 minutes per side (for medium-rare). Rest the steak, then slice thinly against the grain.
  5. Toast corn tortillas over an open flame until charred. Keep warm.
  6. Assemble tacos by layering the steak, mango salsa, and cilantro-lime crema on the tortillas. Garnish with chopped cilantro and green onions.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • For added heat, increase the Sriracha in the crema or sprinkle chili powder on the tacos.
  • Grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu can be used as an alternative to flank steak.
  • Add avocado, pickled jalapeños, or shredded lettuce for extra flavor and texture.
