Ingredients
  

  • 12 Corn Tortillas, warmed
  • 3 lbs Skirt Steak
  • 1 Orange, juiced
  • 1 Lemon, juiced
  • 2 Limes, juiced
  • 1 Medium White Onion, diced
  • 4 Jalapeños, diced
  • 1 Cup Cilantro, chopped
  • 6 Cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
  • 1 Teaspoon: Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Cumin, Chilli Powder, Chilli Flakes, Cayenne, Paprika, Oregano, (each)

Toppings/Garnish

  • 1/2 Cup White Onion, diced
  • Handful Cilantro, chopped
  • 4 Limes, cut into wedges
  • Pico de Gallo
  • Avocado Crema

Instructions
 

  • In a large plastic ziplock bag, add the skirt steak, juiced orange, lemon and lime and their peels, diced onion, minced garlic, diced jalapeños, brown sugar, vegetable oil, soy sauce, red wine vinegar and spices. Seal the plastic bag and massage the ingredients into the steak by moving the bag around making sure the steak is evenly coated.
  • Place the bag of steak in the fridge for 4-12 hours to marinate.
  • Once the steak is marinated, it's time to cook the steak. You can either grill the steak on a bbq until it is your desired doneness or you can use a cast iron. Cook the steak for 3-4 minutes on each side on medium heat for a medium rare steak* or an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (recommended for this taco recipe). Allow the steak to rest for at least 10 minutes.
  • While the steak rests, dice the onions, chop the cilantro and cut the limes into wedges.
  • Slice the steak into 1/2 inch thick slices (that fit well into a taco).
  • Assemble the tacos by placing a warm corn tortilla on a plate, a few slices of the steak, diced onion, cilantro and serve with limes. Add any other toppings you like such as Pico de Gallo, Avocado Crema, or cheese. Enjoy! :)
