Mouthwatering carne asada tacos with marinated steak, fresh toppings, and a squeeze of lime.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs Flank or Skirt Steak
  • 2 limes (juice)
  • 1 orange (juice)
  • 4 minced garlic cloves
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Pepper (to taste)
  • 8 Corn tortillas (or flour tortillas)
  • Fresh cilantro (for topping)
  • Diced onions (for topping)
  • 1 Avocado (for topping)
  • Jalapeños (optional, for topping)
  • Sour cream (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Mix the Marinade: In a bowl, combine the juice of 2 limes, 1 orange, 4 minced garlic cloves, and 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Marinate the Steak: Place your flank or skirt steak in the marinade, ensuring it’s fully coated. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour, up to overnight for maximum flavor.
  3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and let excess drip off.
  4. Grill the Steak: Grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, depending on the thickness. You want a nice char on the outside.
  5. Rest the Steak: Once grilled, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for about 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
  6. Slice the Steak: Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.
  7. Warm the Tortillas: While the steak rests, warm your corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are pliable and slightly toasted.
  8. Assemble the Tacos: Place a few slices of carne asada in the center of each tortilla. Top with diced onions, fresh cilantro, and avocado.
  9. Add the Finishing Touch: Squeeze a bit of lime juice on top for an extra zing!

Notes

Marination enhances flavor; customize toppings to your liking.
