Ingredients

For 4 servings

  • 1 pound skirt steak
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 1 white onion
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
  • 1 lime

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, combine orange juice, lime juice, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, black pepper, and salt.

  2. 2

    Place the skirt steak in a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the steak. Seal the bag, ensuring the steak is well-coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.

  3. 3

    Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Remove the steak from the marinade and grill for 4-5 minutes per side or until the desired doneness is reached.

  5. 5

    Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.

  6. 6

    While the steak rests, finely chop the onion and cilantro. Cut the lime into wedges.

  7. 7

    Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet until pliable.

  8. 8

    Assemble the tacos by placing slices of steak on the tortillas and topping with chopped onion, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice. Serve immediately.
