Method

Preparation of the Meat

  1. 1

    Marinate the Arrachera

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Mix well to create a marinade. Add the arrachera and coat it thoroughly. Cover and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).

  2. 2

    Grill the Meat

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the arrachera from the marinade and place it on the hot grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness is achieved. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy (130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium).

  3. 3

    Rest the Meat

    Once cooked, remove the arrachera from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute within the meat.

Assembly of Tacos

  1. 4

    Prepare the Tortillas

    While the meat is resting, warm the flour tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable.

  2. 5

    Slice the Avocado

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice it into thin wedges.

  3. 6

    Assemble the Tacos

    Slice the rested arrachera against the grain into thin strips. Place a few strips on each warmed tortilla. Top with avocado slices, diced onion, fresh cilantro, and your choice of salsa.
