I don’t know about you, but I love me some Mexican food – tacos, burritos, tortas, I’ll eat them all.  But tacos (like those $1 ones you get from a cart) have a special place in my heart.  With that being said, I decided to try my hand at making some carne asada tacos (turns out its more expensive to make than to buy probably).  They actually turned out pretty good though.

Ingredients for asada:

• 1 lb skirt steak (I cut them into pieces that would fit on my grill)
• 2 oranges, juiced
• 2 limes, juiced
• 1 handful finely chopped cilantro
• 1/2 serrano chile, finely chopped
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tbsp vinegar
• salt and pepper

Ingredients for salsa

• 4 ripe tomatoes
• 1 serrano chile
• 1 lime
• 1/2 white onion
• handful of cilantro
• salt

Other ingredients:

• tortillas
• white onion, chopped
• cilantro, chopped

Directions:

• Mix all the ingredients in a large ziplock bag and let it marinate for ~30-45 minutes
• On an oiled grill over medium heat, cook the steak until your desired doneness (I like med-med rare)
• let rest for 10 minutes, then cut into slices
• Meanwhile, put the ingredients for the salsa in a food processor and pulse until liquidy
• Heat the tortillas in a slightly oiled pan, place the meat slices on the tortilla
• top with chopped onions, cilantro, and salsa and enjoy!
