Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb carne asada (marinated flank or skirt steak)
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1/2 cup chopped onions
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 lime (cut into wedges)
- Salsa (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat your grill to medium-high. Grill the carne asada for about 6-8 minutes per side, depending on how you like it cooked. Let it rest for a few minutes after grilling, allowing those delicious juices to redistribute, making the meat even more tender. Then, slice it into thin strips.
- Place the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side until they’re pliable and warm.
- Grab your warm tortillas and layer a generous amount of sliced carne asada on each one.
- Sprinkle chopped onions and cilantro over the meat. Add some salsa for an extra kick if desired!
- Don’t forget to include lime wedges on the side. A squeeze of lime adds brightness that balances the richness of the meat.
Notes
Try marinating your carne asada overnight for even more flavor.
