1

In a large freezer bag, mix orange juice, 2 tablespoons cilantro, lime juice, garlic, salt, pepper, cumin, and cayenne. Add the skirt steaks, making sure they are fully submerged in the marinade. Seal the bag while pressing out as much air as you can. Refrigerate for 1 to 8 hours.
2

Preheat a grill to medium-high. Grill the steaks until hot and firm in the center or to your preferred doneness, about 6 to 8 minutes per side. Move the steaks to a flat work surface and slice as thin as possible against the grain.
3

Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a microwave. Keep the tortillas warm in a folded sheet of aluminum foil covered with a thick towel.
4

Place steak on each tortilla and top with white onion and cilantro.
