Ingredients:

For the Street Corn:
  • 1 bag (10 oz) Birds Eye® Steamfresh™ Gold and White Corn
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon grated lime zest
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/8 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup crumbled queso fresco
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
For the Steak:
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 pound beef flank steak or flat iron steak (about 1/2 to 3/4-inch thick)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 8 corn tortillas (6 inches), warmed
  • Lime wedges and extra cilantro for garnish (optional)
 

 

Directions:

  1. Prepare the Corn:
    • Adjust your oven rack to be 6 inches from the broiler and heat it to high.
    • Microwave the corn according to the package instructions. Open the bag, add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil, seal the bag, and shake to coat the corn evenly with the oil.
    • Spread the corn on a large, heavy baking sheet, covering half of the sheet.
  2. Prepare the Steak:
    • In a small bowl, mix together chili powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
    • Place the steak on the other half of the baking sheet. Rub both sides of the steak with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and sprinkle with the spice mixture.
  3. Broil the Corn and Steak:
    • Broil both the steak and the corn, stirring the corn occasionally, until the corn is lightly browned and the steak reaches your desired level of doneness (about 12 minutes for medium-rare, 130°F). Flip the steak halfway through broiling.
    • Once done, let the steak rest while you prepare the street corn.
  4. Make the Street Corn:
    • In a medium bowl, combine lime zest, lime juice, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, sour cream, mayonnaise, crumbled queso fresco, and chopped cilantro.
    • Stir in the roasted corn.
  5. Assemble the Tacos:
    • Thinly slice the steak against the grain.
    • Serve the sliced steak on warm tortillas and top with the street corn mixture.
    • Garnish with additional cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice if desired.
