INGREDIENTS

  • Marinade

    • 🍊 3 cups fresh orange juice
    • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
    • 🍋 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
    • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
    • 🧂 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
    • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
    • 1 pinch cayenne pepper

  • Main Ingredients

    • 3 pounds trimmed skirt steaks
    • 🌮 16 (6 inch) white corn tortillas
    • 🧅 1 white onion, chopped
    • 1 small bunch fresh cilantro, chopped

STEPS

1

Combine orange juice, 2 tablespoons cilantro, lime juice, garlic, salt, pepper, cumin, and cayenne in a large freezer bag. Submerge skirt steaks in the marinade. Seal the bag, squeezing out as much air as possible. Refrigerate for 1 to 8 hours.

2

Preheat a grill to medium-high. Grill the steaks until hot and firm in the center or to your preferred doneness, approximately 6 to 8 minutes per side. Transfer steaks to a flat work surface and slice as thinly as possible against the grain.

3

Heat corn tortillas on the grill or in a microwave. Keep tortillas warm in a folded sheet of aluminum foil covered by a thick towel.

4

Add steak to each tortilla and top with chopped onion and cilantro.
