2 pounds beef, skirt steak
1/2 each onions halved, slice thin
2 teaspoons cumin ground
2 teaspoons dried red chiles powdered
3 each jalapeno pepper pickled, chopped

Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour, but preferably overnight, turning once.

Mix together the oil and, if you are using them, the soy sauce and liquid smoke.
10
Brush or spoon the oil mixture onto the meat surfaces.
11
Grill or broil about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until the outside is brown and slightly charred, and the inside is still slightly pink.

Remove the meat to a cutting board.
13
Let sit 5 minutes before slicing.
14
Cut the meat into thin strips that can be easily rolled into tortillas.
