Ingredients

Meat Ingredients

1 lb carne asada (flank, skirt, or hanger steak) Use good-quality meat for best flavor.

Taco Essentials

8 pieces corn tortillas Look for fresh, pliable tortillas.
1 cup onion (diced) Soak in cold water for a milder flavor if desired.
½ cup cilantro (chopped) Chop just before serving for best flavor.
2 tbsp fresh lime juice Essential for enhancing flavor.
to taste salt Adjust according to preference.
to taste pepper Freshly ground preferred.

Instructions

Preparation

Season the carne asada with salt and pepper, then grill to your desired doneness. Allow to sit at room temperature for 20–30 minutes before cooking for even cooking.
Once cooked, let the meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing into small pieces.

Taco Assembly

Warm the corn tortillas on a skillet until soft, about 20–30 seconds per side.
Assemble the tacos by placing the sliced carne asada on each tortilla.
Top with diced onion and chopped cilantro.
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Pair with additional toppings like sliced radishes, salsa, or pickled jalapeños. For variations, consider shredded beef or charred veggies for a vegetarian option. Use proper portioning for a crowd and keep items warm until serving.
