Notes
- Choose the right cut of meat: For carne asada, it's best to use a flank steak or skirt steak. These cuts of meat are thin and have great flavor.
- Marinate the meat: Marinating the meat for at least 2 hours or overnight will help tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. You can use a simple marinade of lime juice, garlic, and spices like cumin and chili powder.
- Grill the meat: Grilling the meat over high heat will give it a delicious char and smoky flavor. Cook the meat for about 5-7 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the steak.
- Warm the tortillas: Warm your tortillas on the grill or in the oven so that they are soft and pliable. This will make it easier to assemble your tacos.
- Add toppings: Top your carne asada tacos with your favorite toppings, such as diced onions, cilantro, avocado, and salsa. You can also add cheese, sour cream, and lime wedges for extra flavor.
- Serve with a side of beans and rice: A classic side dish to go with carne asada tacos is a serving of beans and rice. This will make for a filling and satisfying meal.
