Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, combine chili powder, garlic powder, cinnamon, cumin, and salt. Rub the spice mixture on the skirt steak.
  2. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
  3. Grill the skirt steak for 3-5 minutes on each side until medium-rare. Let rest under aluminum foil for 10 minutes.
  4. Grill the corn, turning frequently for 8-10 minutes until charred. Cool and slice off kernels.
  5. Combine diced cucumber, corn, jalapeno, red onion, lime juice, and a pinch of salt to make the salsa.
  6. Slice the rested steak thinly against the grain.
  7. Warm corn tortillas on the grill for 30 seconds each. Assemble tacos with steak and salsa, adding avocado and cilantro if desired.
