Authentic Baja-Mexican Street Tacos (Carne Asada) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3 cups fresh orange juice, or more as needed
    2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
    2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
    1 teaspoon minced garlic
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon ground black pepper
    1 teaspoon ground cumin
    1 pinch cayenne pepper
    3 pounds trimmed skirt steaks
    16 (6 inch) white corn tortillas, or as needed
    1 white onion, chopped, or to taste
    1 small bunch fresh cilantro, chopped, or to taste
Preparation
    Combine orange juice, 2 tablespoons cilantro, lime juice, garlic, salt, pepper, cumin, and cayenne in a large freezer bag. Submerge skirt steaks in the marinade. Seal the bag, squeezing out as much air as possible. Refrigerate, 1 to 8 hours.
    Preheat a grill to medium-high. Grill the steaks until hot and firm in the center or to your preferred doneness, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Transfer steaks to a flat work surface and slice as thinly as possible against the grain.
    Heat corn tortillas on the grill or in a microwave. Keep tortillas warm in a folded sheet of aluminum foil covered by a thick towel.
    Add steak to each tortilla and top with white onion and cilantro.
