These Mexican Steak Soft Tacos are a quick, delicious way to use leftover flank steak, layered with creamy lime-infused sour cream, fresh black beans, tomatoes, and crisp romaine lettuce for a satisfying and healthy meal.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Steak Tacos

  • 12 ounces leftover beef flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup dairy sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup drained canned black beans
  • 1/2 cup chopped seeded tomatoes
  • 3 cups thinly sliced romaine lettuce
  • 4 medium whole wheat or flour tortillas (8 to 10-inch diameter)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sour cream sauce: In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, fresh lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the sauce is smooth.
  2. Warm the tortillas: Heat the tortillas gently in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, just until warm and pliable. Alternatively, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20 seconds.
  3. Assemble the tacos: Spread an even layer of the sour cream mixture over each tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch border along the edges. Next, evenly distribute the black beans over the sour cream on each tortilla.
  4. Add the steak slices: Place the sliced leftover flank steak on one side of each tortilla, ensuring a good amount of meat per taco.
  5. Add fresh toppings: Top the steak with the chopped tomatoes and then the thinly sliced romaine lettuce for a fresh crunch.
  6. Fold and serve: Fold each tortilla in half to enclose the filling and serve immediately, savoring the blend of warm steak and fresh, zesty components.

Notes

  • Use leftover flank steak that has been sliced thinly against the grain for the best tenderness.
  • For a spicier kick, add some chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the sour cream mixture.
  • These tacos can be customized with additional toppings such as shredded cheese, avocado slices, or cilantro if desired.
  • Whole wheat tortillas add more fiber and nutrients compared to regular flour tortillas.
  • Leftover cooked steak can be refrigerated up to 3-4 days before using in this recipe.
