For the Tacos:

Instructions:
- Marinate the Steak:
- In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and lime juice.

- Grill the Steak:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
- Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
- Warm the Tortillas:
- While the steak is resting, warm the tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are pliable and slightly charred.
- Assemble the Tacos:
- Place a few slices of grilled steak on each warm tortilla.
- Top with a generous spoonful of guacamole.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.
- Serve and Enjoy:
