How To Make Campfire-Grilled Steak Tacos

Instructions:

1. Preparing the Steak:

• In a bowl, mix olive oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to  create the marinade.
• Place the steak in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and coat it evenly with the marinade.
• Seal the bag or cover the dish and let the steak marinate for at least 30 minutes or ideally overnight in the cooler.

2. Campfire Cooking:

• Preheat the campfire grill or grate over the fire until hot.
• Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the excess marinade.
• Cook the steak over the campfire grill, turning occasionally, until it reaches your desired level of doneness (about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare).
• Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

3. Warm the Tortillas:

• Wrap the corn tortillas in aluminum foil and place them on the campfire grill for a minute or so, flipping once, until they are warmed through and slightly charred.

4. Assembling the Tacos:

• Slice the cooked steak into thin strips against the grain.
• Take a warmed tortilla and add a few strips of steak to the center.
• Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, and crumbled queso fresco.
• Squeeze a fresh lime wedge over the filling for a burst of citrus flavor.

5. Enjoy:

• Fold the tortilla in half, and your campfire steak taco is ready to be savored! Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• Serve the tacos with additional lime wedges on the side, if desired.

Note: You can customize the toppings to your liking, adding avocado slices, salsa, sour cream, or any other favorite taco toppings. Happy camping and bon appétit.
