Instructions

1. Prepare the Marinade

In a baking dish or large resealable bag, combine all marinade ingredients and whisk until well blended.

2. Marinate the Steak

Add the skirt steak and coat thoroughly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. For maximum flavor and tenderness, marinate for 8 hours or overnight.

3. Grill the Steak

Preheat your grill to high heat. Grill the steak for 8–10 minutes per side, depending on thickness and desired doneness. For best results, cook to medium.

4. Rest and Slice

Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain to ensure maximum tenderness.

5. Assemble the Tacos

Warm the tortillas and fill each with sliced steak. Top with cotija cheese, fresh cilantro, and a generous spoonful of Gilly Loco Tomatillo Salsa™.

Chef Notes

Make It Your Own

Customize your tacos with your favorite toppings:

  • Fresh guacamole

  • Roasted peppers

  • Avocado slices

  • Diced onions

  • Extra cilantro

  • Fresh lime wedges

Turn Up the Heat

For an extra spicy kick, substitute Gilly Loco Ghost Pepper Salsa™ for the Tomatillo Salsa™ in the marinade.

Tenderness Tip

The longer the steak marinates, the more flavorful and tender it becomes. Overnight marinating delivers the best results.
