Ingredients

  • Skirt steak - 300 grams
  • Corn tortillas - 4 pieces
  • Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
  • Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
  • Lime - 1, juiced
  • Cilantro - 30 grams, chopped
  • Red onion - 50 grams, diced
  • Avocado - 1 medium, sliced
  • Salt - 1 teaspoon
  • Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Chili powder - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Paprika - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

  1. In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, lime juice, olive oil, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
  2. Add the skirt steak to the marinade, ensuring it is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  3. While the steak is marinating, prepare the toppings by dicing the red onion, slicing the avocado, and chopping the cilantro.
  4. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated steak and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium rare, or until desired doneness.
  5. Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
  6. While the steak is resting, warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
  7. Assemble the tacos by placing sliced steak on each tortilla, then topping with diced red onion, avocado slices, and chopped cilantro.
  8. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
