Description
Skirt Steak Tacos with Avocado Salsa is a flavorful dish featuring grilled skirt steak topped with a fresh avocado salsa, served in warm corn tortillas.
Ingredients
- 1 pound skirt steak
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 small corn tortillas
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the skirt steak.
- Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- While the steak is resting, prepare the avocado salsa by combining the diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice in a bowl. Gently mix to combine.
- Warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side, or until pliable.
- Slice the rested steak against the grain into thin strips.
- Assemble the tacos by placing a few slices of steak on each tortilla and topping with the avocado salsa.
Notes
- For added flavor, marinate the skirt steak in the spice mixture for 1-2 hours before grilling.
- Substitute the skirt steak with flank steak or chicken for a different protein option.
