Chipotle Skirt Steak Tacos




from Steamy Kitchen

Ingredients

1-2 lbs skirt steak
1/4 onion
2 cloves of garlic
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. coriander
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
canned chili en adobo: 1-3 chipotle peppers + 2 tsp of adobo sauce {I used 1 1/2 peppers}
1-2 Tbsp. fresh cilantro, chopped


accompaniments: corn tortillas, shredded cheese, avocado, sour cream, lettuce, lime wedges, salsa, etc.

Directions

1. Puree 1 chipotle pepper + 2 tsp of the adobo sauce with the onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, salt and pepper. Taste and add more chipotle if needed. Stir in the cilantro. Throw it all in a zip lock bag with the skirt steak for at least 2 hours. Grill until medium-rare or medium-well. Cut the skirt steak into thin strips across the grain.

2. Place the corn tortillas directly on the grill 30 seconds, flip, add cheese, grill 30 seconds, remove. Transfer to plate, top with steak and desired accompaniments.

{This marinade is so delicioso it would take fabulous with chicken as well. We easily could have eaten the grilled steak with other sides, too}
