Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs flank steak or skirt steak
  • 1/4 cup lime juice (about 2 limes)
  • 1/4 cup orange juice (about 1 orange)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 12 small corn tortillas
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 12 limes, cut into wedges
  • 1 cup salsa or pico de gallo
  • 1 avocado, sliced (optional)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Marinade:
    • In a bowl, combine the lime juice, orange juice, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, cumin, oregano, chili powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Whisk until well mixed.
  • Marinate the Beef:
    • Place the flank steak or skirt steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring it’s well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for more flavor.
  • Preheat the Grill:
    • Preheat your grill to high heat. If using a stovetop grill pan, heat it over medium-high heat.
  • Grill the Beef:
    • Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the beef for about 4-6 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness (medium-rare to medium is recommended). Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  • Slice the Beef:
    • Slice the beef thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness.
  • Warm the Tortillas:
    • Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet over medium heat until they are pliable and slightly charred.
  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 10-12 minutes
