Tips:
- To make the perfect marinade, combine chili powder, cumin, garlic, lime juice, olive oil, and salt in a bowl. For extra flavor, add a touch of honey or brown sugar.
- Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the skirt steak against the grain. This will help tenderize the meat and make it easier to chew.
- Marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours. This will allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
- Cook the steak over high heat for a few minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness. If you like your steak medium-rare, cook it for about 3 minutes per side. For medium, cook it for about 4 minutes per side. And for medium-well, cook it for about 5 minutes per side.
- Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing it. This will help the juices redistribute and make the steak more tender.
- Serve the steak tacos with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese.
