Marinade

  • Wizz the cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, chili powder, cumin and salt. Cut the sweet potato in ½" cubes. In a medium bowl, toss sweet potato cubes with marinade.

Cooking

  • Remove the steak from the oven and allow to rest. Cube the steak for serving.
  • In a pan or within a covered dish in the oven, warm the tortillas. Chop fresh cilantro and serve with lime crema (See below).
