Carne Asada Tacos
Your hunt for the perfect carne asada taco is over. This flavorful handheld food has it all—tender marinated skirt steak, an aromatic corn tortilla, and all of the classic street taco toppings. Served for lunch or dinner, these are delicious with a hearty side of refried beans and rice, or you can keep it light with corn salad. Carne asada is a simple, classic Mexican preparation for skirt or flank steak. The meat is marinated for at least 4 hours, then grilled over medium-high heat to get a charred, flavor-packed crust. Both skirt and flank steak have an intensely beefy flavor and cook quickly on a grill or grill pan, but if you can’t find either of those, you can also make a knockout carne asada with hanger or flat-iron steak. Be mindful that your cooking time will change based on the cut you use. This recipe calls for skirt steak, which is a particularly forgiving cut of meat that will stay tender even when cooked past medium-rare.
