1. Allow the steak to rest adequately (10-15 minutes) after cooking before slicing. This is crucial for juicy steak as it allows the juices to redistribute. Slice against the grain for maximum tenderness.
2. Do not overcook the steak; medium-rare to medium is ideal for tacos. The chili rub will develop flavor while keeping the meat moist.
3. Warm the corn tortillas properly. Grilling gives them a nice char, while microwaving between damp paper towels makes them pliable. Keep them warm in a tortilla warmer or wrapped in a clean cloth napkin until serving.
4. Prepare the Avocado Lime Salsa just before serving to keep the avocados fresh and green.
