Method

1

Pat beef dry with paper towels and place in a shallow dish.

2

Whisk together lime juice, orange juice, minced garlic, olive oil, cumin, oregano, chili powder, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.

3

Pour marinade over beef, coating all sides evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 12 hours.

4

Remove beef from refrigerator 15 minutes before grilling to bring to room temperature.

5

Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Remove beef from marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Grill 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare, until internal temperature reaches 130°F. Rest for 5 minutes.

6

Warm tortillas over the grill flame or in a skillet for 30 seconds per side until pliable.

7

Slice beef against the grain into thin strips.

8

Place a portion of sliced beef on each warm tortilla. Top with sliced red onion and fresh cilantro.

9

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
