Tacos are my favorite food. It's a very rare occasion that I'll turn down a taco, especially homemade ones. These certainly hit the spot.
Carne Asada Tacos
1 lb carne asada (skirt or flank steak will also work)
1/4 cup oil, olive or vegetable
juice of 2-3 limes
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp oregano
1 cloves garlic, minced
dash of cayenne
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
8 corn tortillas
any toppings you like (cheese, lettuce, salsa, hot sauce, sour cream, avocado, etc)
Mix the oil, lime juice, cumin, oregano, garlic, cayenne, salt and pepper together. Add meat and marinate for at least an hour. Grill or cook on high heat on the stove. Carne asada is sliced very thin, so it takes no time at all to cook. Let the meat rest for 10-15 minutes. Cut into small pieces.
Grill the tortillas. I did this by just laying them over the gas flame of our stove for a few seconds. You can do this on your BBQ. Fill each tortilla with meat and the toppings of your choice. If you like more heat to your meat, add some finely chopped chiles to your marinade, such as jalepano or serrano.
Enjoy!
