Suya-Spiced Beef Tacos with Pickled Onion Slaw

Suya is the roadside grill spice of Nigerian evenings — ground roasted peanuts, cayenne, ginger, and garlic rubbed onto skewered beef. Here that same rub goes onto flank steak destined for a hot skillet instead of charcoal, then gets folded into warm corn tortillas the way you'd build a taco in Mexico City.

The beef itself is the protein workhorse of this dish: lean flank steak sliced thin against the grain gives a solid protein count per taco, which is why we've tagged this one high-protein and a good fit if you're eating around fitness or athletic training. The peanut in the suya rub adds a little healthy fat and crunch of its own, no extra nuts needed.

A quick lime-and-salt pickle on the cabbage and onion takes only 15 minutes but cuts right through the richness of the spiced beef. Pile it all into tortillas with fresh cilantro and an extra pinch of suya spice on top if you like things loud.
