Ingredients

  • 1 pound skirt steak
  • Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
  • 3 teaspoons Dalkin&Co Taco Seasoning or Chile Lime Seasoning
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice divided and the zest reserved
  • 12 street style small corn tortillas
  • 1 cup colby jack cheese freshly shredded (cheddar works too)
  • 1 cup guacamole
  • pickled red onions

Instructions

  • Sprinkle the steak on both sides with salt, pepper, and taco seasoning. In a large glass bowl, whisk 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil with 1 tablespoon lime juice and the reserved lime zest. Add the steak and turn to coat. Marinate for 30 minutes
  • Prepare an indoor or outdoor grill over medium-high heat.
  • Grill the steak to desired doneness, about 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice the steak into thin strips. If you want crispier steak, you can re-sauté it quickly in a hot skillet.
  • Lightly char the tortilla over an open flame.
  • Divide the shredded cheese among the tortillas. Place the tortillas under the broiler until the cheese is melted. Remove from the oven, top each tortilla with steak, pickled red onions, and guacamole. Fold into tacos and serve immediately.

Notes

Don't forget the guacamole!
