It's taco night, and Rach has put together an amazing—and easy!—spread: seared skirt steak flavored with a smoky citrus marinade, zippy pico de gallo, creamy avocado sauce, shredded cabbage and warm corn tortillas. Make the condiments while the meat is marinating. Once that's done, dinner will be on the table in no time.
