Grilled Steak Tacos (High-Protein)
Grilled sirloin steak tacos on charred corn tortillas, finished with black beans folded into the meat, queso fresco, and cilantro-lime crema. Extra beef and beans push the protein well past a standard taco portion while lime, cumin, and charred onion keep the flavour distinctly Mexican and smoky.

Instructions
1
Prep
Pat the steak dry, rub with olive oil, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt and black pepper. Set aside for 10 minutes so the rub penetrates.
2
Grill the steak on a hot grill pan over high heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side until a dark crust forms and the center reads 130 to 135°F for medium-rare.
3
Rest the steak on a cutting board for 5 minutes so juices redistribute before slicing against the grain.
4
In the same skillet over medium heat, warm the black beans with the onion and jalapeno for 2 to 3 minutes until the onion softens, stirring often.
5
Whisk together the yogurt and lime juice in a small bowl until smooth to make the crema.
6
Warm the corn tortillas directly over a medium-high flame or in a dry skillet for 20 to 30 seconds per side until lightly charred and pliable.
7
Slice the rested steak thinly against the grain and divide it and the bean-onion mixture between the warm tortillas.
8
Plate
Scatter queso fresco, cilantro, and remaining jalapeno over the tacos, drizzle with lime crema, and serve with lime wedge.
