1 1/3 pound skirt steak
1/4 cup orange juice
1/8 cup lime juice
1 tablespoon garlic chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 jalapeno seeds and ribs removed, then coarsely chopped
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 cup chopped cilantro leaves
8 small corn tortillas
1 cup freshly shredded Monterey Jack
1/2 cup pico de gallo
1/2 cup guacamole
1/2 shredded iceberg lettuce

Place the orange juice, lime juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, jalapeno, cumin and cilantro in a large gallon bag. Close and shake to combine.
Place the steak in the bag and marinate for 8 hours. (No longer than that)
Preheat a grill medium high heat.
Place the steak on the grill and cook for 8 minutes per side or to desired level of doneness.
Remove the meat from the pan and cover with foil; let rest for 5 minutes.
Thinly slice the steak against the grain.
Warm the tortillas for 30 seconds on each side in a dry skillet or on the grill, until toasty and pliable.
Divide the lettuce between the tortillas. Top with carne asada meat, cheese, pico de gallo and guacamole. Serve.
