Mexican Street Tacos Carne Asada

Ingredients:

¼ cup fresh lime juice

¼ cup fresh orange juice

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 ½ pounds flank steak or skirt steak (Beef)

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

For the Tacos:

12 small corn tortillas

½ cup white onion, finely diced

½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Lime wedges, for serving

Salsa of choice

Directions:

In a large bowl, whisk together the lime juice, orange juice, minced garlic, olive oil, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Place the flank or skirt steak into a large resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the Beef, ensuring it is fully coated.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably 2–4 hours for deeper flavor. Do not marinate longer than 8 hours, as the citrus can begin to break down the meat texture.

Preheat a grill or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates or pan to prevent sticking.

Remove the Beef from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.

Grill the Beef for about 4–6 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until it reaches your desired doneness (medium-rare to medium is recommended for tenderness).

Transfer the cooked Beef to a cutting board and let it rest for 5–10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

While the meat rests, warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds per side until soft and pliable. Keep them wrapped in a clean kitchen towel to stay warm.

Slice the rested Beef thinly against the grain, then chop into small bite-sized pieces for authentic street taco style.

Assemble the tacos by placing a generous portion of chopped Beef onto each tortilla.

Top with diced white onion and fresh cilantro.

Serve immediately with lime wedges and your favorite salsa.
