How to Make Skirt Steak Tacos

Step 1

In a large glass or ceramic bowl, combine the soy sauce, lime juice, 1 tablespoon of the oil, garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano and chili garlic sauce. Add the steak and marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight, stirring occasionally.
Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add the steak and marinade, and cook, stirring often, until steak has browned and marinade has reduced, about 5 to 6 minutes, or until desired doneness.
Step 3

Serve the steak in the tortillas, topped with red onion, cilantro, avocado, tomato and a squeeze of lime juice.
