Trim the fat off the skirt steak using a boning knife.

Cut the skirt steak into taco-sized pieces.

In a mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup orange juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 5 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1.5 teaspoons cumin, and 2.5 teaspoons chili powder.

Squeeze juice from 2-3 limes into the marinade and whisk everything together.

Place the skirt steak pieces in a Ziploc bag and pour the marinade over the meat.

Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, mixing the meat every hour if possible.

Heat the griddle and add oil to it.

Once the oil is hot, add the marinated skirt steak to the griddle and cook until charred and cooked through, which should not take long due to the thinness of the meat.

While the meat is cooking, warm the white corn tortillas on the griddle.

Assemble the tacos by adding a healthy serving of skirt steak, diced white onion, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lime on top of each tortilla.

Serve with salsa verde and enjoy.
