Ingredients
- 1 lb flank steak
- 4 large eggs
- 8 small corn tortillas
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 lime, juiced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions (for garnish)
How to Make Steak and Egg Breakfast Tacos
- Start by marinating the flank steak. In a bowl, combine olive oil, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture over the steak and let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
- While the steak marinates, prepare the salsa. In a separate bowl, mix diced tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
- Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, cook the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
- In the same skillet, crack the eggs and cook them sunny-side up or to your preference. Season with salt and pepper.
- Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet until pliable.
- To assemble, layer the sliced steak on each tortilla, top with a fried egg, and spoon over a generous amount of fresh salsa. Garnish with sliced green onions and additional cilantro if desired.
Tips for the Best Results
- Allow the steak to rest before slicing to retain its juices.
- For a spicier salsa, leave some seeds in the jalapeño.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
- If you prefer scrambled eggs, whisk them and cook them in the skillet until fluffy.
Easy Variations
- Swap flank steak for chicken or even sautéed mushrooms for a vegetarian option.
- Add avocado slices or crumbled queso fresco for extra creaminess.
- Spice it up with hot sauce or a sprinkle of chili powder in the salsa.
What to Serve With It
- Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
- Crispy hash browns for extra crunch.
- A light yogurt parfait for a balanced meal.
Storage and Reheating
These tacos are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet to avoid making the tortillas too tough.
