INSTRUCTIONS

CARNE ASADA TACOS

  1. Whisk all of the marinade ingredients together in a small bowl. 

  2. Add the steak to glass baking tray and pour the marinade on top. Ensure both side of the steak are well coated, cover the baking tray with plastic wrap and marinate for 1-4 hours. Alternatively, you could marinate in a Stasher Bag or Ziploc bag.

  3. Heat a grill on medium-high heat. Add the carne asada and cook for approximately 1-3 minutes on each side. Remove the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for another 5 minutes.

  4. Using a sharp knife, slice the carne asada at an angle against the grain. From there, you can further chop the carne asada into smaller pieces.

  5. Use a spoon to mash the avocado, then spread a large spoonful or two onto each tortilla.

  6. Top the avocado with chopped carne asada, a sprinkle of cotija cheese, some diced onion and fresh cilantro. Squeeze fresh lime juice on top.
