Ingredients
- 1 lb skirt steak
For the Steak Marinade
- 2 poblano peppers stemmed
- 1 cup cilantro chopped
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 4 Tbsp lime juice
- 1/4 white onion cubed
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp garlic powder
- 1 Tbsp cumin
- 1/2 Tbsp black pepper
- 1/2 Tbsp salt
For the Tacos
- 8 Corn tortillas
- 2 cups Monterey jack cheese shredded
- 1/2 cup red onion diced
- 2 Tbsp cilantro chopped
- guacamole
Instructions
- In a food processor or blender, add in all the marinade ingredients and blend together until smooth.
- Next, add the marinade to a food safe zip top bag and add in the steak to marinate. Place in your fridge to marinate for 12-24 hours.
- After marinating, pull your steaks out of the fridge for about 10-15 minutes and heat your grill to high heat (around 400 degrees Fahrenheit). Discard of the remaining marinade.
- Cook your steaks on the grill for about 4 minutes per side. Be sure the steak reaches 125 degrees Fahrenheit internally. Then pull the steak off the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Next, slice the steak along the grain and then into bite-sized cubes.
- Then, preheat a skillet to medium high heat and grab a handful of jack cheese and place it on the skillet so it is the same size as your tortilla. Then place a tortilla on top of the cheese and use a spatula to flip the tortilla over and continue cooking the tortilla until it gets hard. Repeat until you make all the tacos needed.
- With the cheese side of the tortilla facing up, dress each taco with steak, red onions, cilantro, and a small spoonful of guacamole, any other toppings you prefer, and enjoy!
