Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
6 large red radishes, ends trimmed, halved, thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon chopped pickled jalapeno chile
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lime juice plus 1 lime, cut into 8 wedges, for garnish (optional)
1 teaspoon olive oil
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 pound skirt steak, cut crosswise into 3 pieces
1 tablespoon ground cumin
8 corn tortillas (6-inch)

Steps:

Heat broiler, with rack 4 inches from heat. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil; set aside. In a medium bowl, gently stir together avocado, radishes, cilantro, jalapeno, lime juice, and oil; season with salt. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly against surface of salsa (to prevent discoloring); set aside.
Arrange steak on prepared baking sheet. Rub both sides with cumin; season generously with salt and pepper. Broil without turning until well browned, 6 to 8 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer steak to a cutting board; tent with foil, and let rest 5 minutes.
While the steak is broiling, stack and wrap tortillas in a dampened kitchen towel; microwave until hot and pliable, 1 to 2 minutes. (Alternatively, wrap in foil, and warm in oven in lower third, 5 minutes.)
Cut steak crosswise into 2-inch-wide pieces; slice thinly on the diagonal. Dividing evenly, place beef on tortillas; top with salsa. Serve with lime wedges, if desired.
