Recipe Background
Did you hear the joke about the tortilla shell? Yeah, it was corny, so we ditched it and opted for some Tex-Mex Flank Steak instead! The tender, buttery-soft beef bathes in a sweet and tangy juice that brings on the flavor and a little bit of spice. Enjoy it perfectly wrapped in a burrito, piled atop some nachos, or mixed in a taco salad — there's really no wrong answer here. All jokes aside, Tex-Mex Flank Steak is seriously delicious and soon to be your new go-to for all the fiesta flavors!
