A delicious and easy-to-make recipe for grilled carne asada tacos, paired with a vibrant fresh salsa.
Prepare the marinade by combining fresh lime juice, garlic powder, crushed red pepper flakes, freshly ground black pepper, and Mexican oregano in a mixing bowl.
Mix the marinade thoroughly to ensure the flavors are well combined.
Place the thinly sliced steak in the marinade, ensuring it is fully coated, and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
Marinating the steak longer will enhance the flavor.
While the steak marinates, prepare the salsa by dicing the ripe tomatoes, fresh garlic, white onion, and fresh cilantro. Combine them in a bowl with fresh lime juice and salt.
Adjust the salt and lime juice to taste for a balanced flavor.
Preheat the grill to high heat.
Ensure the grill is hot to achieve a good sear on the steak.
Grill the marinated steak for 1-2 minutes on each side until cooked through.
Avoid overcooking the steak to keep it tender.
Let the grilled steak rest for a few minutes, then slice it thinly against the grain.
Slicing against the grain ensures the meat is tender.
Warm the corn tortillas on the grill for a few seconds on each side.
Warming the tortillas enhances their flavor and texture.
Assemble the tacos by placing sliced steak on the tortillas and topping with salsa, shredded lettuce, and diced onion.
Serve the tacos immediately for the best taste.
