Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

In a large bowl, whisk together the onion, cilantro, lime juice, soy sauce, olive oil, brown sugar, oregano, red pepper flakes, and garlic. This is your vibrant marinade. (5 minutes)

02

Step
4 hrs

Place the skirt steak in a shallow baking dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it's fully coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and tenderize the meat. (1-4 hours)

03

Step
5 mins

Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat. Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)

04

Step
6 mins

Carefully place the marinated steak on the hot grill. Grill for 2 to 4 minutes per side, depending on your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130-135°F. (4-8 minutes)

05

Step
8 mins

Remove the grilled steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak. (5-10 minutes)

06

Step
5 mins

Thinly slice the steak against the grain into 1/4-inch strips. (5 minutes)

07

Step
2 mins

Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet until pliable. (2-3 minutes)

08

Step
2 mins

Fill each warm tortilla with sliced steak and your favorite toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and extra cilantro. Serve immediately and enjoy!

For a deeper flavor, marinate the steak overnight.
If you don't have a grill, you can cook the steak in a hot cast-iron skillet on the stovetop.
Feel free to experiment with different toppings to customize your tacos.
To warm tortillas: Wrap a stack of tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for about 30 seconds, or until heated through.

    The steak was a little too spicy for my kids, so I reduced the amount of red pepper flakes. Still tasted great!

    I added a pinch of smoked paprika to the marinade for an extra layer of flavor. Highly recommend!
