Taco Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Add the skirt steak and marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Grill

    Preheat your grill to high heat. Ensure that it is clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

  3. 3

    Grill the Steak

    Remove the steak from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Place the steak on the hot grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Rest and Slice

    Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.

  5. 5

    Warm the Tortillas

    Briefly warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Tacos

    Place a few slices of steak on each tortilla. Top with diced onion, sliced radishes, and salsa. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
