Carne Asada Tacos
Carne Asada is the star of the show in these yummy tacos
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2.5 lbs Flank or skirt steak
- 3/4 cup Cilantro
- 1/2 cup Olive oil
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 1/4 cup Lime juice
- 1/4 cup Orange juice
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Pepper
- 12 Corn tortillas, taco sized
- 1 Onion
- 2 Limes
Instructions
- Using a food processor or knife, finely chop 1/2 cup of cilantro with olive oil, cumin, garlic, lime juice, orange juice, salt, and pepper to create a marinade. Place the flank steak with the marinade in a large zip-loc bag or a container with a lid. Cover the steak with the marinade and let it marinate for 4 hours or overnight.
- Grill the steak for 15 minutes, turning it over halfway through the cooking process. Rest the meat for 5 minutes at room temperature. Cut the Carne Asada into small cubes.
- Chop onions and 1/4 cup of cilantro. Cut the limes into wedges. Also, warm up the corn tortillas by microwaving them for 10 seconds or toasting them on the grill for half a minute.
- Assemble the tacos by putting carne asada on the tortillas and topping them with onions and cilantro. Squeeze lime juice over the tacos.
Notes
Be careful not to toast the the tortillas too long—they should still be soft.
