These grilled skirt steak tacos are a perfect balance of smoky, savory steak and fresh, vibrant toppings. The tender skirt steak is marinated in a zesty lime and cilantro marinade, then grilled to perfection. Serve the steak sliced in warm corn tortillas with your favorite toppings for a delicious and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs skirt steak
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
