    • Thursday is taco night at my house and eating with your hands is always a hit. Well seasoned flank steak cooks quickly under the broiler--the trick is in the slicing: thinly and across the grain so it isn't tough. This dinner is really a sum of its parts. You can fill your tacos with as many or as few fillings as you'd like.

    Ingredients

    Serves:

      • FOR PICKLED ONIONS:
      • 1/3 cup cider vinegar
      • 1 1/2 tablespoons cider vinegar
      • 3/4 teaspoon salt
      • 1 medium (6 to 8 oz) red onion, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/2-inch wide wedges.
      • FOR GUACAMOLE:
      • 2 (6 oz) firm ripe avocados
      • 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
      • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh jalapeno (optional)
      • FOR TACOS:
      • 1 pound flank steak
      • 8 (7-inch) flour tortillas
      • Shredded cabbage, sliced radishes, thinly sliced jalapenos, fresh cilantro

    Directions

    FOR PICKLED ONIONS:

    Combine vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan. Heat through over medium low until sugar and salt dissolve. Add onions and simmer, covered, 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir through to coat onions with vinegar mixture. Cool. (At this point, onions can be prepared up to 8 hours or 1 day ahead and kept covered and chilled.)

    FOR GUACAMOLE:

    Halve avocados lenthwise and pit. Scoop out flesh with a spoon and transfer to a bowl. Add lime juice, jalapeno, and ½ teaspoon salt and coarsely mash with a potato masher or fork.

    FOR TACOS:

    Pat steak dry and sprinkle all over with salt and pepper. Put on rack of a broiler pan and broil 2 to 3 inches from heat, turning over once, 6 to 8 minutes total for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let stand 5 minutes. Thinly slice steak against the grain. Serve inside tortillas with toppings.
