  • Place on the bbq and cook your flank steak 7 - 8 mins on each side for medium doneness. Remove from the heat, cover and let the steak rest for 5-10 mins.
  • Cut the steak into thin strips against the natural grain of the steak.
  • Assemble the tacos by placing a little cheese on the tortilla, then steak, then a little more cheese (if you like) and finally a little pico de gallo and avocado if you wish.
  • Serve warm!
