  3. Remove the steak from the marinade and pat dry with a paper towel.

  4. Fire up your grill or place a cast iron skillet on the stove over high heat. Cook the steaks on each side until you get a good sear. Do not cook skirt steak past medium or it will be tough.

  5. Let yout steak rest for 5 minutes. While the steak rests lightly grill or broil your torillias, until they just start to get some color.
