Authentic Carne Asada Street Tacos Food

CARNE ASADA STREET TACOS

Steps:

• Place the Flank Steak in a large plastic storage bag. Add soy sauce, orange slices and lime juice. Chop green onions and cilantro and add them into the bag. Rub the seasoning all over the beef. Seal the bag and let it marinate for at least 6 hours.
• Remove the meat from the marinade. Pat dry with a paper towel. Remove all excess herbs from the carne asada. Grill the carne asada until the internal temperature reaches medium-rare at 145 °F. Hot tip: Don't have a grill? Snag a grill pan and make carne asada right on your stove top.
• Let it rest for 10 minutes. Slice it against the grain and cut it into bite-sized strips.
• Spoon mashed avocado onto a tortilla. Top it off with a couple of strips of carne asada.
• Sprinkle with cilantro and onion. Sprinkle with cotija cheese. Right before serving, squeeze some lime juice over the top.
• Serve with your favorite salsa.

CARNE ASADA TACOS

Steps:

• Marinate and cook the steak according to recipe instructions.
• While the steak cooks, go ahead and prepare the guacamole and whatever other toppings you would like. (If you are making homemade corn tortillas, you can also make those while the steak is marinating.)
• Once the carne asada is cooked and has rested for at least 10 minutes, slice or dice the steak into bite-sized pieces. Fill each corn tortilla with your desired amount of steak and toppings.
• Then serve up the tacos immediately and enjoy!

MEXICAN STREET TACOS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, lime juice, 1 tablespoon canola oil, garlic, chili powder, cumin and oregano. In a gallon size Ziploc bag or large bowl, combine soy sauce mixture and steak; marinate for at least 1 hour up to 4 hours, turning the bag occasionally. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon canola oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add steak and marinade, and cook, stirring often, until steak has browned and marinade has reduced, about 5-6 minutes, or until desired doneness. Serve steak in tortillas, topped with onion, cilantro and lime.

Steps:

• Combine orange juice, 2 tablespoons cilantro, lime juice, garlic, salt, pepper, cumin, and cayenne in a large freezer bag. Submerge skirt steaks in the marinade. Seal the bag, squeezing out as much air as possible. Refrigerate, 1 to 8 hours.
• Preheat a grill to medium-high. Grill the steaks until hot and firm in the center or to your preferred doneness, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Transfer steaks to a flat work surface and slice as thinly as possible against the grain.
• Heat corn tortillas on the grill or in a microwave. Keep tortillas warm in a folded sheet of aluminum foil covered by a thick towel.
• Add steak to each tortilla and top with white onion and cilantro.
