Method
 

Directions
  1. In a small bowl, combine chili powder, garlic powder, cinnamon, cumin, and salt. Rub the spice mixture generously all over the skirt steak.
  2. Preheat your grill to medium-high, aiming for 450°F (232°C). Allow the seasoned skirt steak to come to room temperature.
  3. Place the skirt steak directly on the hot grill. Grill for 3-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare doneness.
  4. Once grilled, remove the steak from the grill and cover it loosely with foil. Let it rest for about 10 minutes.
  5. While the steak is resting, grill a whole ear of corn for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
  6. In a mixing bowl, combine diced cucumber, grilled corn kernels, jalapeño, and red onion. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the mixture.
  7. Slice the rested steak thinly against the grain. Aim for slices approximately 1/4 inch thick.
  8. Warm corn tortillas on the grill for 30 seconds. Layer slices of skirt steak on each tortilla and top with the salsa.
