Equipment
- Cast Iron Skillet
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds skirt steak cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- ¾ cup red onion diced
- ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves chopped
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons canola oil divided
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 12 mini flour tortillas warmed
- 1 lime cut into wedges
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, lime juice, 1 tablespoon of canola oil, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, and oregano.
- Place the steak pieces in a gallon-size resealable bag or large bowl, and pour in the marinade. Seal the bag, removing excess air, and turn it a few times to evenly coat the steak. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours in the refrigerator, turning occasionally.
- Heat the remaining tablespoon of canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated steak along with any excess marinade, cooking while stirring frequently until the steak browns and the marinade reduces, about 5-6 minutes, or until your preferred level of doneness is reached.
- Arrange the cooked steak onto warmed tortillas, and top with diced onion, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of fresh lime
