Mexican cuisine is famous for its flavorful and lively dishes, and Chipotle Skirt Steak Tacos are no exception. These tacos are great for a family and friends gathering or dinner party. The seasoning paste made of onion and garlic, chipotle pepper, and adobo sauce gives the steak a smoky and spicy flavor that pairs well with many toppings. Corn tortillas are used instead of flour tortillas, making it a gluten-free dish. The recipe yields about 10 tacos, but it can be easily adjusted to fit your preferred serving size.

Instructions

1.In a food processor, pulse onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, pepper, cilantro, chipotle pepper, and adobo sauce until mixture forms into a smoothened paste.
2.Rub steak with the paste generously on both sides, then refrigerate it for an hour.
3.Preheat grill or grill pan over high heat, then place the steak on it for about 4-5 minutes per side, flipping once (or adjust the time according to the desired degree of doneness).
4.Remove steak from grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
5.Slice steak against the grain and serve on corn tortillas topped with shredded cheese, avocado slices, sour cream, lettuce, and salsa. Squeeze lime wedges over the tacos before serving.
