Lime-Jalapeno Marinade

I like a good marinade when I'm looking to add flavor to meat. I had a skirt steak thawing in the fridge the other day and remembered this recipe sitting in my box that I cut out of some food magazine a while back. I quickly pulled together the ingredients, added my steak and gave it a 24-hour bath. It doesn't look too appetizing while marinading, but after 24 hours, I threw it on the grill, cooked it until about medium, let rest for 10 minutes, cut into slices and put into corn tortillas with cilantro, cotija cheese, Houston-Style Green Salsa, Pico de Gallo and voila! A delicious meal!
