Grilled Street Corn Steak Tacos

Juicy grilled steak and sweet roasted corn wrapped in warm tortillas, topped with a zesty chili-lime drizzle.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb grilled steak (flank or skirt)
  • 2 cups roasted corn (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 cup cotija cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 lime (juiced)
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Taco shells (soft corn or flour tortillas)
  • Fresh cilantro (for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Grill the steak: Preheat your grill while seasoning the steak with salt and pepper. Grill to your desired doneness (about 4–5 minutes per side for medium rare). Let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
  2. Roast the corn: Shuck the corn and grill until you see char marks, about 8–10 minutes, rotating occasionally. Cut kernels off the cob and set aside.
  3. Prepare the chili-lime drizzle: In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream, lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth.
  4. Assemble the tacos: Warm the taco shells if preferred. Fill each shell with steak strips, roasted corn, and sprinkle with cotija cheese.
  5. Drizzle and garnish: Pour chili-lime sauce over tacos and top with fresh cilantro.
  6. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

You can prep the chili-lime drizzle and sliced steak a day ahead to save time. Avoid reheating the assembled tacos to maintain crispness.
