Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound carne asada (marinated beef)
- 8 small corn tortillas
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- Lime wedges for serving
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: diced avocado, salsa, radishes
Instructions
- Grill or pan-sear the carne asada over medium-high heat for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
- Let the meat rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly. This step is crucial; it allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring every bite is tender and flavorful.
- Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a skillet until they’re soft and pliable, just a minute or two should do the trick.
- Assemble the tacos by placing a few slices of carne asada on each tortilla. Top them generously with chopped onion, cilantro, and any additional toppings that tickle your fancy.
- Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side, inviting your guests to squeeze a little extra zest onto their creations.
