Steps:
- For the chimichurri: While the steak rests, place the cilantro leaves, onion, remaining 4 cloves garlic, juice of 1 lime, and remaining 1/3 cup vinegar to a blender and puree until combined. With the blender on low speed, drizzle in the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil in a slow stream. Remove the sauce from the blender and stir in the red pepper flakes and salt, to taste.
- For the chipotle cream: Combine the sour cream, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, juice of 1/2 lime, and pinch of salt.
- Place the steak, 3 cloves garlic, 2 tablespoons each olive oil and vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and Dijon mustard in a resealable bag. Rub the ingredients into the meat and place in the refrigerator to marinate for 2 hours.
- After 2 hours, remove the meat from the bag and pat dry to remove any excess moisture. Lightly season both sides with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Spray an indoor, stovetop grill with nonstick cooking spray and preheat on medium-high heat. Place the steak on the preheated grill and grill about 6 minutes on each side for medium rare. After grilling the steak, cover with tented foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes, before thinly slicing across the grain.
- To serve, top each warm tortilla with some mixed greens and sliced steak. Drizzle with the chimichurri and chipotle cream.
- Servings: 4 to 6 tacos

Steps:
- Puree a single chipotle pepper (not the whole can) + 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 medium-rare. Cut the skirt steak into thin strips across the grain. Serve with taco accompaniments.
- Note: I throw the corn tortillas directly on the grill 30 seconds, flip, add cheese, grill 30 seconds, remove. This melts the cheese oh-so-perfectly and chars the tortilla edges just a tiny bit for that crunch. Heating it also takes away some of the "rawness" that corn tortillas have when they are straight out of the bag.

Steps:
- Combine the salsa, lime juice, Worcestershire, garlic and 2 tablespoons of the oil in a blender; puree until smooth. Pour into a resealable plastic bag and add the steak pieces. Seal tightly and rub the steaks with the marinade until evenly coated. Set aside for about 30 minutes at room temperature.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steaks from the marinade, allowing the excess to drip off. Discard the marinade. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper. Lay the steaks in the skillet and cook, turning once, until browned on the outside and medium-rare, 6 to 8 minutes total. Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes. Serve sliced with warm tortillas, sliced avocado, cilantro leaves, lime wedges and extra salsa to make tacos.

Steps:
- On a work surface, crush garlic cloves using the flat side of a large knife; sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Place the flat side of the knife blade on top of the garlic and salt; press firmly, pulling knife toward you. Repeat until a paste forms; transfer to a small bowl. Add chile powder, brown sugar, paprika, cumin, pepper, espresso, and remaining tablespoon salt; stir to combine.
- Rub mixture all over skirt steak, and place in a large freezer bag to marinate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wrap tortillas in parchment-paper-lined aluminum foil; while grilling steak, bake tortillas until warmed through, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Preheat grill pan over high heat, or use an outdoor grill. Place steak on grill, and cook for 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve thinly sliced steak in warmed tortillas; top with salsa, cilantro, cheese, sour cream, lettuce, and lime wedges, if desired.
Tips:
- Choose the right steak: Skirt steak is the traditional cut for tacos, but you can also use flank steak or hanger steak. Look for a steak that is about 1 inch thick and has good marbling.
- Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a flavorful marinade will help to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple one made with olive oil, lime juice, garlic, and cumin is always a good option.
- Cook the steak over high heat: Skirt steak is a thin cut of meat, so it cooks quickly over high heat. Cook the steak for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it is cooked to your desired doneness.
- Let the steak rest before slicing: Once the steak is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
- Use fresh tortillas: Fresh tortillas are the best choice for tacos. You can find them in the refrigerated section of most grocery stores.
- Load up your tacos: Once you have your steak and tortillas, it's time to load up your tacos. Add your favorite toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese.
Conclusion:
Chipotle skirt steak tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. By following these tips, you can make sure that your tacos are flavorful and tender. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give chipotle skirt steak tacos a try!
