  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 1 avocado diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 0.25 cup red onion finely chopped
  • 0.25 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 8 small corn tortillas

Equipment

  • Grill or Grill Pan
  • meat thermometer
  • mixing bowl
  • sharp knife
  • Tongs

Method
 

  1. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  2. Mix olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Rub onto skirt steak.
  3. Grill steak 4–5 minutes per side or until 130°F for medium-rare. Let rest 5 minutes.
  4. Combine avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice in a bowl. Stir gently to combine.
  5. Warm tortillas on grill 30 seconds per side.

Notes

Rest steak before slicing to retain juices. Marinate in spice mix for extra flavor. Salsa can be made a few hours in advance with lime juice to prevent browning.
