18corn tortillas, warmed

1cupthinly sliced cabbage

2large plum tomatoes, diced

½largered onion, diced

Directions

Place beef in a medium bowl. Sprinkle with 1 cup suya spice, granulated onion, granulated garlic, Cameroon pepper and salt. Add oil and massage the mixture into the beef with your hands. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 12 hours.

Preheat grill to medium-high or preheat broiler. (If broiling, put a baking sheet on the top rack to heat for 5 minutes.)

Whisk sour cream, lemon juice and the remaining 2 tablespoons suya spice in a small bowl. Add water, if needed, to thin to a sauce-like consistency.

Grill or broil the beef until lightly charred, 4 to 8 minutes. (If grilling, flip the beef halfway.) Let rest for 5 minutes. Cut the beef into bite-size pieces. Serve the beef in tortillas with the sauce, cabbage, tomatoes, onion and cilantro.

To make ahead

Marinate beef (Step 1) for up to 12 hours.

Tips

Suya spice, which usually includes hot peppers, paprika, ginger and ground peanuts, is often used on skewered beef or chicken. The spicy skewered meat is generally referred to as suya throughout West African countries.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
