Carne Asada Taco Ingredients
Method
Carne Asada Taco Directions
Marinate the Flank Steak
In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the flank steak, ensuring it's well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.
Slice the Steak
Thinly slice the grilled steak against the grain. This will ensure tenderness in each bite.
Warm the Tortillas
In a dry skillet over medium heat, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
Assemble the Tacos
To each tortilla, add slices of carne asada, then top with chopped cilantro, diced onion, sliced radishes, a dollop of sour cream, and a spoonful of salsa.
Serve
Serve the tacos immediately while warm, garnished with additional lime wedges if desired.
