Method

Marinating and Cooking the Carne Asada

  1. 1

    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 and marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours.

  2. 2

    Cook the Flank Steak

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated flank steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.

Cooking the Baja Shrimp

  1. 3

    Marinate the Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the shrimp and marinate for about 15 minutes.

  2. 4

    Cook the Shrimp

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat.

Preparing the Mexican Slaw

  1. 5

    Mix the Slaw

    In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Toss well to combine.

Assembling the Tacos

  1. 6

    Build the Tacos

    Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet. On each tortilla, layer sliced carne asada, cooked shrimp, a handful of Mexican slaw, a sprinkle of cheddar cheese, and a spoonful of salsa fresca. Serve immediately.
