-
Cut the long skirt steak pieces into thirds to make it easier for handling on the grill.
-
To make the marinade, whisk all the ingredients together in a medium bowl with a pouring lip. Layer the sliced onions, meat and marinade in 13 x 9 x 4 inch glass dish until the meat is fully submerged. Alternately, you can place all in a ziplock bag mush around to distribute evenly. Marinate for 1 hour in the refrigerator. .
-
Prepare the grill on high. Place steak pieces directly over the flames and grill 3 minutes per side. The Arrachera should be caramelized and crusty on the edges but not overcooked. The meat is thin and will cook quickly.
-
Grill the whole scallions along side the meat. Warm the tortillas on the grill after the meat is finished.
-
Serve immediately with warm tortillas, grilled scallions, Pico de Gallo, lime wedges and avocado slices.
