In a large bowl, whisk together lime juice, orange juice, minced garlic, olive oil, vinegar, chopped cilantro, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
2
Place the steak into the marinade and coat evenly on all sides.
3
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for deeper flavor.

Remove the steak from the marinade and shake off the excess.
6
Grill the steak for about 5–7 minutes per side, depending on thickness and desired doneness.

Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes to keep the juices inside.

Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds per side.
10
Keep tortillas warm by wrapping them in a clean kitchen towel.
