• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)

• 1 1/2 pounds skirt steak (flank steak, or flap meat)
• 12 corn or flour tortillas (4" size)
• 1/2 cup diced white onions
• 1/2 cup cilantro leaves

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Make the Marinade - In a medium bowl, whisk together the ¼ cup olive oil, orange juice, orange zest, lime juice, lime zest, soy sauce, garlic, cumin, salt, pepper, oregano (if using), and chili powder.
2. 2Prepare the Meat - Cut the steak into ½-inch pieces.
3. 3Marinate the Steak - Add the steak to the marinade, stirring to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to 8 hours. Stir before using.
4. 4Cook the Steak - Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, carefully add the meat in a single layer. Sear for about 2 minutes, then saute until no longer pink on the surface, about 1 to 2 minutes.
5. 5Warm the Tortillas - Heat a pan over medium heat. Cook the tortillas on each side until warm and lightly browned, about 10 to 15 seconds per side. Wrap in a kitchen towel to keep warm.
6. 6To Serve - Fill the tortillas with the steak, then top with onion and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
