- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Elote (Mexican Street Corn):
- 2 ears corn, husked
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp sour cream
- 1/2 cup cotija cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
For the Tacos:
- 8 small corn tortillas
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Instructions
- Marinate the Steak:
- In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
- Rub this mixture all over the steak and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- Grill the Steak:
- Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
- Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain.
- Prepare the Elote:
- While the steak is grilling, grill the corn directly on the grill grates until slightly charred on all sides, about 7-10 minutes.
- Once done, remove the corn kernels from the cob and place them in a bowl. Mix in mayonnaise, sour cream, cotija cheese, chili powder, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Stir well to combine.
- Assemble the Tacos:
- Warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side or until soft and pliable.
- Top each tortilla with slices of grilled steak, a generous spoonful of elote, diced red onion, and avocado slices.
- Serve:
- Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and serve with lime wedges on the side. Enjoy your Grilled Steak Elote Tacos hot and fresh!
Notes
- For extra flavor, let the steak marinate longer.
- Feel free to adjust toppings according to your preference.
