Pico de Gallo

Rice & Beans

Method

Tacos Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Meat

    In a bowl, combine the Carne Asada or Chicken with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Meat

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated meat until cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side for Carne Asada, and 5-7 minutes per side for chicken. Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Warm the Tortillas

    Place corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side until warmed and slightly charred.

  4. 4

    Assemble Tacos

    Slice the grilled meat and place a portion in the center of each warmed tortilla. Top with a spoonful of pico de gallo.

Pico de Gallo Preparation

  1. 5

    Mix Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine diced tomatoes, diced onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and minced jalapeño. Mix well and adjust seasoning to taste.

Rice & Beans Preparation

  1. 6

    Cook Rice

    In a pot, combine white rice, water, and garlic powder. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until rice is cooked and water is absorbed.

  2. 7

    Heat Beans

    In a small saucepan, heat the canned black beans over medium heat. Add cumin and stir until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
