I’ve been holding onto this recipe all month long in prep for Sunday’s Cinco de Mayo festivals. These tacos have been on a weekly rotation for the last month while I worked in tweaking them. Of course, I love any excuse to make the family tacos for dinner! But now I’m so excited to finally share them with you!
These are the yummiest. Cooking the steak at a high heat in the oven gives you such delicious flavor and is so easy. The oven is not typically my first choice, when I cook steak, I usually sear it in a skillet. However, for this recipe, the oven is the way to go.
I was in a hurry and wanted to make tacos for dinner. I’ve recently started buying flank steaks, which are such an underrated cut of meat and are usually relatively affordable.
I wanted to test out cooking the steak in the oven and was so surprised with the results. Cooking the flank steak whole and then thinly slicing it is the secret. It was perfectly cooked every time.
I also added a quick mango salsa and then stuffed everything into warm tortillas.
These are your details
Step 1: season + marinate the steak
Working on a sheet pan, rub the steak with chipotle chili powder, onion powder, and paprika. Add lots of garlic, then orange juice and tamari (or use soy sauce).
If time allows, let the steak marinate for 20 to 30 minutes.
Step 2: cook the steak
Add a couple of jalapeños to the sheet pan with the steak. These are for the mango salsa.
When ready, roast the steak at 450°F for 10 minutes, then broil for 2-5 minutes to give it a char. Allow the steak to cook until it’s done to your liking. I found 12 minutes to be the perfect time.
Then, let the steak rest before you slice.
Step 3: the mango salsa
While the steak is resting, toss mango chunks with lime juice, cilantro, and a pinch of sea salt.
Grab the charred jalapeños from the sheet pan, chop them, and toss them in with the mango blend.
Step 4: serve
Serve this up with warm flour tortillas. I love to char them on a gas burner—it’s the best way to warm a tortilla!
Then, thinly slice the steak and stuff it into the warm tortillas. Add mango salsa and avocado. I usually add some lettuce and crumbled feta or queso cheese. And I always like to serve with the extra sauce on the sheet pan—it’s so delicious!
As I mentioned, these have been on rotation all month long. We really love them, and this recipe is a great way to use a relatively inexpensive cut of meat.
I promise the whole family will love these! I’ll be making them again on Sunday night for a small Mexican-inspired Cinco de Mayo dinner. They’re so fun and yummy!

Yet again, amazing flavor from HBH!
I seared my steak, sliced it, and put it in crockpot.
Hey April,
Wonderful! I appreciate you making this recipe and taking the time to comment, so glad it was enjoyed!
Have a great weekend!
This was so delish and came together quick! I grilled the steak instead of oven to not heat up the house and it worked perfect! Added avocado and red onion to to the salsa and topped off the tacos with some green and red hot sauce. This will certainly be in the rotation going forward 🙂
Thank you sooo much Alexa! So happy to hear that! xT
Can I sub something else for orange juice ? Forgot to get it!
Hi Lexie,
You could use another fruit juice that you have, otherwise, I highly recommend the orange juice:) I hope you love this recipe! xT
OMG! This was absolutely out of this world delicious. Even my picky college student loved it.
Hi Heather,
Happy Thursday! I appreciate you trying this recipe and your feedback, love to hear it turned out nicely for you! XxT
We eat these at least once a week. I have found if you marinade the steak overnight, the flavor is even richer. We also grill the steak to make sure we don’t over cook it. Make sure to add the feta! My husband thought it was weird at first but it elevates the flavors! 🤍
Hey Kelsi,
Happy Friday!! Thrilled to hear that this recipe is always enjoyed, thanks for making it so often and sharing your comment! Xx

Hey Tracey,
Happy Sunday!! So glad to hear that this recipe turned out well for you, thanks for making it! xT
I used skirt steak, skipped the chilli powder since I can’t handle spice, and followed the rest of the receipe as written. This came together soooo fast and was tastier than I could have predicted. Loved it!!!
Even my picky kids who don’t like beef said “I don’t hate it” which is a huge compliment. One of them even went back for seconds.
Hey Anna,
Thrilled to hear that you enjoyed this recipe, thanks a lot for making it and your comment:) xx
We grilled the steak outside and swapped orange juice for lemon. Also marinated it starting in the morning. It came out amazing!! thank you

Hey Damaris,
Wonderful! I’m so glad to hear that this recipe turned out nicely for you, thanks for trying it! Xx
Actually, a question not a rating or comment just yet: Tieghan – is it a good idea to marinate the skirt steak overnight instead of just half an hour? I’m thinking it may make for more flavor and tenderness but also don’t wish to overdo – Thoughts?
And thanks! Love what you do for all of us and am so appreciative. 🙂
Hey Nancy,
Totally! The longer you can marinate the steak, the more flavor it’s going to have! I hope you love this recipe, let me know if you give it a try! xT
