We just really love the skirt steak in these tacos — which are adapted from a Tyler Florence recipe. It’s like candy and usually, when we slice it, we eat a ton of it. Whatever’s leftover makes it to the tacos! It’s even better on an actual grill and makes cleanup really easy.
Swap option: You can serve these with any of your favorite taco toppings, I like them with sour cream and guacamole too!
