Fox BBQ Fest: Pork Barrel BBQ's Grilled Skirt Steak Tacos with BBQ Mexican Crema

Recipes from Pork Barrel BBQ as seen on FOX & Friends Weekend’s BBQ Fest!

GRILLED SKIRT STEAK TACOS
Makes: 10-12 Tacos
Ingredients:
1½ - 2 lbs. skirt steak
2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
3 tbsp. Pork Barrel BBQ All-American Spice Rub or Pork Barrel BBQ Steak Rub
10-12 flour tortillas, soft taco size
Charred Guacamole (recipe below)
Charred Tomato Salsa (recipe below)
BBQ Mexican Crema (recipe below)
Optional Toppings: diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce or cabbage, cheese, pickled jalapenos, grilled red onion slices, grilled bell pepper slices

Instructions:
Preheat grill to 400°F – 450°F.
Brush skirt steak with olive oil and season with Pork Barrel BBQ All-American Spice Rub or Pork Barrel BBQ Steak Rub. Let rest for 10 minutes.
Grill skirt steak on one side over coals until slightly charred, 4 to 5 minutes. We like to use GrillGrates for grilling steak. Flip the skirt steak over and grill for an additional 4 to 5 minutes to reach a medium-rare/medium doneness. Remove the skirt steak from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice against the grain into thin slices.
While the skirt steak is resting, place flour tortillas on the grill to warm and slightly char for 30 seconds on each side.
Fill each tortilla with a few slices of meat, desired toppings, Charred Guacamole, Charred Tomato Salsa and a dollop of BBQ Mexican Crema.
