Ingredients

Marinade:

  • 1 orange, juiced
  • 2 limes, juiced
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/4 pounds skirt or flank steak, trimmed of fat
  • 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  • Guacamole, recipe follows
  • Salsa Fresca, recipe follows
  • 12 flour tortillas, warm

Directions

In a small bowl, whisk together marinade ingredients. Place steak in a shallow container, and pour marinade over it. Refrigerate, covered, 8 hours or overnight to tenderize meat.

Drain the marinade from the meat. Grill the steak in a ridged grill pan over medium-high heat for 4 minutes each side. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let stand.

In the same pan with the steak juices, add the bell peppers and onions. Saute the mixture for 3 minutes until the vegetables are limp. Thinly slice the steak against the grain on a diagonal.

Spread some guacamole on a tortilla, top with a few slices of steak, peppers and onions and salsa fresca. Roll up the tortilla to enclose the filling.

May also serve with sour cream and shredded cheese.

    Simple, easy and oh, so delicious! It's great to have a recipe that calls for so few ingredients and yet has a booming flavor! Be sure to cut the meat on the bias to keep it tender.

    Easy to fix. I only let my flank steak marinate for 2 hours and it tasted wonderful. It's winter, so I broiled it for 6-7 minutes on each side since I couldn't get to a grill. Used pre-made fresh salsa instead of the recipe to make it easier.

    I let my skirt steak marinate for 15 hours and it was still tough to eat. I suggest trying a better quality side of steak. I followed the recipe as well, and I was not impressed. Honestly, the veggies were very flavorful but the meat was not.
