For an extra layer of flavor, consider marinating the flank steak for at least 30 minutes before cooking. A marinade of lime juice, garlic, and cilantro works wonderfully. If you don't have fresh poblano chilies, you can substitute with canned roasted green chilies. Drain them well before slicing and adding to the recipe. To keep the tortillas warm while assembling the tacos, wrap them in a clean kitchen towel or place them in a tortilla warmer. Feel free to add other toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, or guacamole to customize your tacos to your preferences.

Follow The Directions
01
StepHeat 1/2 tablespoon oil in a heavy large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion and poblano chilies and sauté until tender and slightly softened, about 10 minutes. Transfer the onion mixture to a bowl and set aside, keeping the skillet ready for the next step.
02
StepHeat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced potatoes and sauté until they are golden brown and tender, approximately 12 minutes. Ensure they are cooked through but still hold their shape.
03
StepReturn the sautéed onion and chili mixture to the skillet with the potatoes, combining well. Keep warm over low heat while preparing the steak.
04
StepGenerously season both sides of the flank steak with garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Ensure the steak is evenly coated to enhance the flavor.
05
StepHeat the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil in a separate heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned steak and cook until browned on both sides, turning once. Cook for about 8 minutes in total for medium-rare, adjusting the time based on your preferred level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure accurate cooking.
06
StepTransfer the cooked steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
07
StepWhile the steak is resting, heat the corn tortillas on a griddle or directly over a gas flame until warm and pliable, turning frequently with tongs to prevent burning.
08
StepThinly slice the rested steak against the grain to maximize tenderness.
09
StepAssemble the tacos by topping each warm tortilla with the steak and potato mixture. Garnish generously with fresh cilantro. Serve immediately with pico de gallo and/or hot sauce on the side, allowing each person to customize their tacos to their liking.
