- 1 Serrano or Jalapeno Pepper, minced
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup Low Sodium Beef Broth
- 1/2 tablespoon Old Bay® Seasoning

- 1 medium Onion thinly sliced

Instructions
Trim & Prep:
- Trim excess fat from the beef skirt steak. Imagine it as a culinary artist shaping the canvas for the masterpiece.
Citrus Soak:
- Squeeze the limes, zest one, and mince the Serrano or Jalapeno pepper. Mix them with garlic, beef broth, Old Bay® Seasoning, cumin, black pepper, and salt in a container. Immerse the beef and let it soak – think of it as a flavorful spa day for the meat. Refrigerate for 8 hours or more.
Grill Mastery:
- Sprinkle the marinated beef with love (and a bit more salt and pepper). Grill to your preferred doneness. Let it rest for 5 minutes; this is the part where the flavors mingle and dance.
Veggie Ensemble:
- For outdoor grilling, create a foil pouch for onions and bell peppers. They are the supporting actors adding drama to your dish. If using an indoor grill, toss them in for an extra flavor boost.
Tortilla Warmth:
- Warm the tortillas like giving them a cozy blanket either in the oven or microwave. A little warmth goes a long way.
Assemble & Crown:
- Slice the beef into thin strips. Imagine building a delicious tower: tortilla, beef strips, grilled veggies. Crown it with a regal dollop of Daisy Sour Cream. Behold, your masterpiece is ready!

Absolutely! While skirt steak is traditional, you can explore with flank steak or sirloin for a slightly different texture.
If you’re short on time, aim for a minimum of 30 minutes for marination. However, for the best flavor, we recommend the full 8 hours.
Yes, you can freeze the marinated beef for future use. Ensure it’s in an airtight container or ziplock bag, and thaw it in the refrigerator before grilling.
Aim for a juicy medium-rare. The beef continues cooking a bit as it rests, so this ensures perfect tenderness.
Yes, feel free to use corn tortillas for a gluten-free option or based on personal preference.
Yes, an indoor grill pan or stovetop pan works well. Adjust cooking times accordingly and use the foil pouch method for veggies if not grilling outdoors.
