Carne Asada Tacos

Ingredients:

2 cups red wine vinegar
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 pound skirt steak
1 clove garlic, halved
salt and pepper
2 limes
2 Tbsp olive oil
12 fresh corn tortillas
1 avocado, pitted and sliced
1 cup fresh tomato salsa or fresh tomatillo sauce
Cilantro for garnish

Directions:
1.  Put the red onion in a small bowl and pour in enough red wine vinegar to cover well.  Set aside for at least 30 minutes.
2.  Cut the skirt steak into 4 equal pieces.  Using a meat mallet, pound the beef to 1/4-inch thickness.  If using an outdoor grill, preheat it now.  Rub the cut side of the garlic clove all over the meat and season generously with salt and pepper.  About 5 minutes before grilling, squeeze the juice of 1 lime over both sides of the beef.
3.  Brush grill with olive oil and set the heat to high.  Grill beef for 4 minutes per side.  Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before chopping into 1/2 inch pieces.
4.  Place four of the tortillas on a plate and sandwich them between dampened sheets of paper towel.  Microwave for 45 seconds.  Place warm tortillas in a towel-lined basket and cover.  Repeat with remaining tortillas.
5.  To assemble the tacos, place heaping spoonful of grilled steak onto the center of a tortilla.  Top with marinated onions and a slice of avocado.  Serve accompanies by tomato salsa or tomatillo sauce.  Cut the remaining lime into wedges.  Garnish with lime wedge and cilantro, if desired.
