Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salsa

    Start by roasting the tomatillos in a dry skillet over medium heat until they are soft and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat, then blend them in a blender with garlic, lime juice, salt, and pepper until smooth. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Skirt Steak

    Rub the skirt steak with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Heat a grill or skillet over high heat. Sear the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Toppings

    Chop the onion and cilantro. Slice the lime into wedges.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Warm the flour tortillas in a skillet or microwave. Place slices of skirt steak on each tortilla, top with tomatillo salsa, chopped onion, and cilantro. Squeeze lime juice over the tacos before serving.
