If you prefer a spicier steak taco spice mix, add more smoked paprika or red pepper flakes. If you like it hot-hot, add a bit of cayenne pepper to the mix.

Best Cut of Beef for Steak Tacos
This steak taco seasoning can be used with ANY cut of beef, but we absolutely love using flank steak for our tacos.
Flank steak can get a bad rap because it is a more affordable cut of meat (plus, it is quite lean), and can be a bit tough if you don’t cook it correctly.
We love flank steak here on Fit Foodie Finds because when you season and cook flank steak correctly, it’s deliciously flavorful and tender — which makes it a perfect cut of meat for our thinly sliced steak tacos.
