Tacos de Carne Marinada (Sirloin Steak Tacos)

Yields 10-12 portions

Ingredients:

1½ pounds sirloin steak, sliced thinly
2 cloves garlic, smashed
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon ground oregano
1½ tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
1 tablespoon powdered ancho chile
Juice of 1 lime
½ tablespoon annatto powder
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
12 corn tortillas for tacos
½ iceberg lettuce, finely chopped
Mexican crema or sour cream
3 tomatoes, chopped into cubes
Cilantro leaves, chopped


Directions:

1. Add the seasonings to the meat, including the 2 tablespoons of oil. Mix well, cover with plastic wrap and allow to marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 to 3 hours; next day would be even better.

2. Remove from the fridge and leave at room temperature for 30 minutes.

3. Heat a large skillet; pour the remaining oil and cook 3-4 minutes each side.

4. In another pan, heat the tortillas.

5. In each tortilla, place a bit of lettuce, a spoonful of meat, cream, tomato and cilantro. Serve and enjoy!
