In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the skirt steak in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the steak. Ensure the steak is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
While the steak marinates, prepare the avocado tomato relish. In a medium-sized bowl, combine diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, red onion, chopped cilantro, minced jalapeño, lime juice, and salt. Gently toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Place the steak on the hot grill and cook for 3-5 minutes per side, depending on desired doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130°F.
Transfer the grilled steak to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the steak thinly against the grain and arrange on a serving platter.
Top the steak slices with the avocado tomato relish or serve the relish on the side. Enjoy immediately!
