Beef Tacos with Radish and Avocado Salsa
- 1 avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
- 6 large red radishes, ends trimmed, halved, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 tablespoon chopped pickled jalapeno chile
- 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice, plus 1 lime cut into 8 wedges, for garnish (optional)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- Coarse salt and fresh ground pepper
- 1 pound skirt steak, cut crosswise into 3 pieces
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 8 corn tortillas (6-inch)
- Heat the broiler, with the rack 4 inches from the heat.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- In a bowl, gently stir together the avocado, radishes, cilantro, jalapeno, lime juice, and oil; season with salt.
- Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly against the surface of the salsa (to prevent discoloring); set aside.
- Arrange the steak on the baking sheet.
- Rub both sides with cumin; season generously with salt and pepper.
- Broil without turning until well browned, 6 to 8 minutes for medium-rare.
- Transfer the steak to a cutting board; tent with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes.
- While the steak is broiling, stack and wrap the tortillas in a dampened kitchen towel; microwave until hot and pliable, 1 to 2 minutes.
- (Alternatively, wrap in foil, and warm in the lower third of the oven, 5 minutes.)
- Cut the steak crosswise into 2-inch-wide pieces; slice thin on the diagonal.
- Dividing evenly, place the beef on the tortillas; top with the salsa.
- Serve with lime wedges.
