Instructions:
-
Prepare the Marinade:

Marinate the Steak:
Place the skirt steak into the marinade, ensuring it is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, up to 8 hours or overnight for best results. -
Grill the Steak:
Preheat your grill on high. Grill the steak for about 8-10 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the steak and the heat of your grill. Aim for medium doneness. -
Rest and Slice the Steak:
Let the steak rest for 5 minutes after grilling. Then, slice the steak thinly against the grain to maximize tenderness. -
Assemble the Tacos:
Add a few strips of steak to each tortilla. Top with cotija cheese, cilantro, and Gilly Loco Tomatillo Salsa™ to taste.
