Carne Asada Tacos

Carne Asada Tacos are a classic Mexican street food favorite. Tender marinated grilled steak is served on warm corn tortillas and topped with fresh onions, cilantro, tomatoes, and queso fresco for a burst of flavor.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb flank steak
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 8 small corn tortillas
• 1/2 cup diced onion
• 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
• 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
• 1/4 cup crumbled queso fresco
• Lime wedges for garnish

Instructions:

In a bowl, mix together minced garlic, lime juice, olive oil, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to create a marinade

Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it

Seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates

Remove the steak from the marinade and grill for about 4-6 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness

Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly across the grain

While the steak is resting, warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a skillet for about 30 seconds per side

To assemble the tacos, place slices of grilled carne asada on each tortilla

Top with diced onion, chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, and crumbled queso fresco

Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top and garnish with lime wedges
