Chef's tip
Use the same weight and cut the chicken to match the recipe. Cook it to 165°F (74°C). For a long braise, slow-cooker recipe, or pressure-cooker recipe, shorten the cooking time because chicken thighs tenderize faster than steak.
3 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)
2 tbsp fresh orange juice
2 tbsp coconut aminos
Chef's tip
Soy sauce is saltier and less sweet; start with less and adjust.
2 tbsp avocado oil, divided
1 ½ tsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp cayenne pepper

For the vegetables

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 tbsp avocado oil
¼ tsp salt

For serving

8 large butter lettuce leaves, for serving
1 avocado, sliced, for serving
¼ cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped, for serving
1 lime, cut into wedges, for serving
hot sauce, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the lime juice, orange juice, coconut aminos, 1 tbsp of the avocado oil (from the marinade portion), chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne until combined. Reserve 2 tbsp of the marinade in a small bowl and set aside. Add the skirt steak to the remaining marinade, turn to coat, and let it marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes (or refrigerate up to 4 hours).
2
Remove the steak from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels; discard the used marinade. Heat the remaining 1 tbsp avocado oil (from the marinade portion) in a large cast iron skillet over high heat until the oil just begins to smoke. Add the steak and sear undisturbed for 3–4 minutes, until a deep brown crust forms on the underside and the steak releases easily from the pan.
