Carne Asada Tacos
Description
Taco Tuesday will never be the same once you make this recipe for Carne Asada Tacos. These are the real deal y’all, with authentic grilled carne asada strips tucked into warm tortillas with traditional toppings like onion and cilantro.
Ingredients
- ½ batch Carne Asada
- 2 avocados or swap Guacamole
- 1 lime divided, plus additional wedges for serving
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt omit if using guacamole
- Finely chopped white onions
- Chopped fresh cilantro
- Queso fresco or crumbled feta
- Flour or corn tortillas
- Optional additional toppings thinly sliced radishes, Pickled Jalapeños, Salsa Roja
Directions
- Prepare the Carne Asada according to recipe instructions (heads up! It needs to marinate for 4 hours prior to cooking). Once it has rested at least 10 minutes, thinly slice it across the grain, then dice into bite-sized pieces.
- Just before serving, scoop the avocados into a bowl. Juice in 1/2 the lime (cut the remaining half into wedges for serving) and add the salt. With a fork, roughly mashed to combine (if you are using Homemade Guacamole, skip this step). Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet, or by blistering over a gas stove. For each taco, spread a tortilla with a scoop of the avocado, then top with the asada.
- Add the onion, cheese, and any additional desired toppings. Enjoy immediately
