🔪 Prep the Ingredients

Prep the Steak:

Pat the steak dry. In a bowl, mix olive oil, Dan-O’s seasoning, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture over the steak and let it marinate for 15–20 minutes.

Make the Elote Salad:

If using fresh corn, grill or char the kernels in a skillet for 3–4 minutes. In a bowl, mix corn with mayonnaise, cotija cheese, cilantro, green onions, garlic, lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

🔥 Grill Time!

Preheat your grill or skillet to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C).

Grill the steak for 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare (135°F / 57°C internal temperature). Let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.

Warm the tortillas on the grill for 30 seconds per side.

🌮 Assemble the Tacos:

Place a few slices of steak on each tortilla.

Top with a generous spoonful of elote salad.

Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime.

🍋 Serve It Like This:

Serve the tacos on a cutting board or platter.

Pair with a side of Mexican rice or a refreshing agua fresca 🥤

🔥 Pro Tips:

For extra char, grill the corn directly on the cob before cutting off the kernels.

Add a drizzle of crema or hot sauce for a spicy kick.
