Ingredients:
- 1 pound flank steak or skirt steak
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 8 small flour or corn tortillas
- For the Toppings:
- 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Instructions:
- Marinate the Beef:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, and pour the marinade over it. Ensure the steak is evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- Grill the Beef:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove the steak from the marinade and grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
- Once cooked, transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
- Prepare the Tortillas:
- While the steak is resting, warm the tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side, until soft and slightly charred.
- Assemble the Tacos:
- Divide the sliced steak among the warmed tortillas.
- Top with crumbled blue cheese, shredded lettuce, cherry tomatoes, red onion, avocado slices, and fresh cilantro if using.
- Serve:
- Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
