Surf and Turf Tacos

Instructions:

1. Prepare the steak:
   • Season the steak with olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for 15–20 minutes.
   • Heat a grill or a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steak for about 4–5 minutes per side (depending on thickness) until it reaches your preferred doneness.
   • Let the steak rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
2. Cook the shrimp:
   • In a separate bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper.
   • Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the shrimp for 2–3 minutes on each side until pink and cooked through.
3. Make the guacamole (if homemade):
   • In a bowl, mash the avocados until smooth but slightly chunky. Stir in the chopped red onion, tomato, lime juice, cilantro, and salt to taste.
4. Assemble the tacos:
   • Heat the tortillas in a skillet or directly on the stove flame until lightly charred and warm.
   • Sprinkle cheese on each tortilla and let it melt.
   • On each tortilla, add a portion of sliced steak, shrimp, and a dollop of guacamole.
5. Serve:
   • Garnish with fresh lime wedges and a sprinkle of cilantro. Enjoy immediately!
