Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, combine chili powder, garlic powder, cinnamon, cumin, and salt. Rub this spice blend evenly all over the skirt steak.
  2. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F). Allow the grill to heat for about 10 minutes.
  3. Place the seasoned skirt steak on the grill and cook for approximately 3–5 minutes per side. Remove and let rest under foil for 10 minutes.
  4. While the steak is resting, grill the ear of corn, rotating every few minutes until charred, about 10-15 minutes.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine diced cucumber, corn kernels, jalapeno, and red onion. Squeeze fresh lime juice and season with salt.
  6. After resting, slice the steak thinly against the grain.
  7. Warm the tortillas on the grill. Layer sliced steak and top with salsa, avocado, and cilantro.
