Arrachera Skirt Steak Tacos Recipe

We love tacos. All types of tacos. Whether they're made from beef, pork, chicken, or something else, we just love tacos. This taco is made using beef skirt steak, or as it is known in mexico, arrachera. Skirt steak is a tougher cut of beef than many other steaks. However, what it lacks in tenderness, it more than makes up for in flavor. You'll find a rich, deep beef flavor in this steak that tastes even better with a quick marinade in bright flavors like lime juice. Because skirt steak is so thin, it cooks fast and should be cooked over high heat to provide a delicious sear on the outside of the steak without overcooking the rest of the steak. Just make sure you dry off the steak from the marinade before cooking to avoid steaming the steak When you assemble these tacos, we suggest keeping it simple. A little red onion and cilantro on the tacos are all you need to enjoy the flavor of the steak, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice will help make the taco sing Optionally, you can add a salsa verde or queso fresco on top. We would stay away from american-style salsa or shredded cheese with this taco. Simple is sometimes best, and this taco is definitely a dish that benefits from simplicity and letting the flavors of each ingredient shine. What's your favorite taco?
