Method

1

In a shallow dish, whisk together lime juice, orange juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, and oregano to form the marinade.

2

Place beef in the dish and turn to coat all sides with marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 8 hours for deeper flavor).

3

Preheat grill to medium-high heat (or use a grill pan over high heat on stovetop).

4

Remove beef from marinade, letting excess drip off. Grill for 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare, until charred and cooked to your preference. Let rest 5 minutes.

5

Warm tortillas on the grill for 30 seconds per side, or wrap in foil and warm in a low oven.

6

Slice rested beef thinly against the grain.

7

Arrange sliced beef, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, salsa, avocado, and jalapeños on a platter. Let guests build their own tacos with warm tortillas and lime wedges.
