Ingredients

• 1 lb Beef skirt steak
• 12 pieces Corn tortillas
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tbsp Lime juice
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 1 tsp Chili powder
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 cup Onion, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup Cilantro, chopped
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cup Salsa
• 0.5 cup Cotija cheese, crumbled
• 1 piece Avocado, sliced

Directions

Step 1

Begin by marinating the steak. In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Add the beef skirt steak to the marinade, ensuring it is well coated on all sides. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 3

Once marinated, heat a grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steak for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is achieved.

Step 4

Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the steak more tender.

Step 5

While the steak is resting, warm the corn tortillas. You can do this by placing them on the grill or skillet for about 30 seconds on each side, until they are heated through and slightly charred.

Step 6

Slice the steak thinly against the grain into bite-sized pieces.

Step 7

Assemble the tacos by placing a portion of the sliced steak onto each tortilla. Top with finely chopped onion, chopped cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, salsa, crumbled Cotija cheese, and a slice of avocado.

Step 8

Serve the street tacos immediately and enjoy the burst of flavors!
