Ingredients

Steak marinade

  • 1 lbs flank steak or skirt steak
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Pico de Gallo

  • 2 roma tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup red onions diced
  • 2 tbsp jalepeno diced
  • 2 tbsp cilantro
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Other

  • 6 flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup queso fresco crumbled
  • 1/4 cup cilantro chopped

Instructions

  • Combine all the ingredients under "steak marinade" except for flank steak in a bowl. Whisk to combine.
  • Pour marinade onto flank steak, and make sure flank steak is covered in marinade. Marinade for at least 2 hours, but no longer than 12 hours.
  • Combine all the pico de gallo ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Refrigerate and set aside until ready to use.
  • Grease and heat grill or grill pan. When grill is hot, place flank steak on the grill (shake off access moisture before placing on grill).
  • Grill steak for a few minutes on each side, then flip and grill the other side for another few minutes. Cook time varies based on doneness preferences. Use a meat thermometer to determine doneness. See chart in notes for steak temperature at different level of doneness.
  • When steak is done, remove promptly. Place steak on a plate and wrapped in aluminum foil to rest for 5-10 minutes. Slice steak into thin strips.
  • Heat tortillas either on the grill, stovetop or in microwave.
  • Top tortillas with sliced steaks, pico de gallo, queso fresco and cilantro. Serve and enjoy!
