Yield Makes 8 tacos

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 pounds skirt steak, trimmed
Juice of 1/2 lime
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon toasted cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon toasted ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 (6-inch) corn tortillas, warmed
1 small head cabbage, cored and shredded

Steps:

  • Place steak in a gallon-size plastic resealable food storage bag.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together lime juice, lemon juice, vegetable oil, garlic clove, onion powder, cumin seeds, coriander, garlic powder, and paprika; season with salt and pepper. Pour over steak in plastic bag. Marinate, refrigerated, at least 6 hours and up to overnight, turning every few hours.
  • Preheat a grill or grill pan over high heat.
  • Remove steak from marinade and pat dry. Place steak on grill and cook, turning once, until cooked to medium, about 5 minutes per side. Remove steak from grill and let stand 5 to 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
  • To assemble tacos, divide meat evenly between tortillas. Top with cabbage, pico de gallo, and guacamole; serve immediately.
