Method
- Marinate the skirt steak in citrus juices, garlic, jalapeno, and cilantro for at least 3 hours.
- Grill the steak over very high heat for 3 minutes per side until charred but still rare in the center.
- Rest the meat for 10 minutes, then chop crosswise against the grain into small pieces.
- Warm the tortillas, fill with carne asada, and top with diced onion, cilantro, and lime.
Cooks notes. Recipes are tested in a US home kitchen. Substitute lemon for lime if you must, but the result will read brighter. Salt to taste -- our quantities skew toward kosher.
