Carne Asada Tacos: The Only Taco Tuesday You’ll Ever Need
Stop eating boring food.
By user
Taco Tuesday just got a serious upgrade.
Carne Asada Tacos are simple: grilled steak, corn tortillas, onion, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime. The magic is in the marinade. Let it sit for 15 minutes (or all day). Grill hot. Chop. Stuff. Devour.
Step-by-Step Instructions
11
Marinate
Whisk marinade ingredients together in a bowl or bag.
Add steak. Coat well. Marinate 15 minutes at room temp (or 2-8 hours in fridge).
22
Heat the Grill
Preheat grill or cast-iron skillet to high heat.
Remove steak from marinade. Pat dry with paper towels.
33
Sear the Steak
Grill steak 4-6 minutes per side until charred and internal temp hits 130°F for medium-rare.
Let rest 10 minutes. Don’t skip this—juices need to settle.
44
Warm the Tortillas
While steak rests, char tortillas directly over gas flame or in a dry skillet. Flip once.
55
Chop and Assemble
Slice steak thinly against the grain (this keeps it tender).
Fill tortillas with steak. Top with onion, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime.
