Description

Follow this recipe to bring a simple, healthful and tasty Mexican dish to your table! Marinate the meat with a variety of zesty flavors and keep the taco assembly simple–with just some lettuce, homemade guacamole and chopped cilantro. BAM!

Ingredients

  • 5 cloves Garlic, Chopped
  • 1 whole Jalapeno, Finely Chopped
  • ½ cups Fresh Cilantro, Chopped
  • 1 dash Salt And Pepper
  • 2 whole Limes, Juiced
  • 1 whole Orange, Juiced
  • 2 Tablespoons White Vinegar
  • ½ cups Olive Oil
  • 1 whole Lime, Zested
  • ¼ pounds Skirt/flank Steak
  • 8 whole Corn Tortillas, Heated
  • Optional Taco Garnishes: Lettuce, Cheese, Sour Cream, Chopped Cilantro, Salsa, Etc

Preparation

Mash together the garlic, jalapeno, cilantro, salt, and pepper; this can be done by either using the back of a knife and crushing ingredients on a cutting board, or by mashing in a bowl. Put the mixture in a sealable container; a reused glass jar works wonders. Pour in the orange and lime juices, white vinegar, oil, and lime zest. Secure the lid onto the container, and shake, shake, shake it up! Pour 1/4 of the marinade on the bottom of a glass baking dish, then lay the carne asada meat on top, flat. Pour the rest of the marinade mixture over the meat, cover dish with plastic wrap and put in the fridge for 1-4 hours.

Heat up the BBQ grill**, and throw the marinated meat onto the grill for about 7 minutes on medium heat. No need to turn it, it cooks fast. When done, remove from heat and let meat rest for about 5 minutes. Then make thin slices, on the angle, and go back the other way to dice meat into squares.

Assemble tacos to your liking (tortilla, meat and your favorite taco garnishes), and serve with a nice, cold Mexican cerveza.

**Little Yellow Note: you don’t have to use a BBQ grill – an indoor grill or even skillet will work just fine.
