Method
 

  1. Marinate the steak by mixing olive oil, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Rub the mixture onto the steak and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the corn salsa by combining fresh corn, diced red onion, diced red bell pepper, jalapeño (if using), lime juice, chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Mix gently and set aside.
  3. Preheat the grill to high heat. Grill the marinated steak for about 4 to 6 minutes on each side, depending on thickness and desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness (medium-rare is 130°F/54°C).
  4. Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice the steak into thin strips.
  5. Warm the tortillas on the grill or in a skillet until slightly browned. Assemble the tacos by placing sliced steak in the center of each tortilla and topping with corn salsa.
  6. Serve the tacos on a platter and enjoy with your favorite toppings.
