Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb skirt steak
- 8 corn or flour tortillas
- 2 ripe avocados, diced
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Juice of 2 limes (about 4 tbsp)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together lime juice, minced garlic (2 cloves), salt (1 tsp), and pepper (1/2 tsp). Place skirt steak in a resealable bag, pour marinade over it, seal tightly, and refrigerate for at least one hour.
- Make the Avocado Salsa: In a bowl, combine diced avocados, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice. Mix gently to avoid mashing the avocados.
- Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high (around 400°F).
- Grill the Steak: Remove steak from marinade and grill for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let it rest for five minutes before slicing against the grain.
- Warm Tortillas: Warm tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet until soft.
- Assemble Tacos: Slice grilled steak into thin strips, lay them on warmed tortillas, top with avocado salsa, and serve immediately.
